The 2026 Los Angeles mayoral election will be held on June 2, 2026, to elect the mayor of Los Angeles, California. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election will be held on November 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate that wins the election. The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting; however, if there is any ambiguity in the results, this market will resolve according to official information from the City of Los Angeles.Incumbent Karen Bass holds a modest lead in the November 3 runoff against City Councilmember Nithya Raman, reflecting trader consensus on her established coalition, fundraising edge, and primary performance where she captured 34.3% to advance ahead of Raman's 29%. The contest pits Bass's record on homelessness reductions, public safety, and housing initiatives against Raman's progressive critiques on affordability, city spending, and environmental priorities, with the latter drawing DSA-LA and select labor endorsements in September. Recent ads, debates, and internal polling showing a close or narrowing race have sustained competitiveness, while Bass benefits from broader institutional support and historical incumbency patterns in Los Angeles mayoral contests. Late-breaking shifts in turnout or endorsements could still influence the outcome.
