2022 Oakland mayoral election
The 2022 Oakland mayoral election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the
mayor of
Oakland, California . The previous incumbent mayor
Libby Schaaf was
term-limited .
[1]
Sheng Thao won the election and was inaugurated as mayor in January 2023.
The position is non-partisan. The election was held using
instant-runoff voting , the rules of which include voters ranking their top 5 candidates. If one candidate receives a majority (greater than 50%) of the #1 ranked votes, they win the election, but if no candidate meets that criteria, then the candidates with the lowest votes are eliminated and tallying continues to the #2 ranking, and so on until a single candidate receives a majority of votes. Following election day, ballot tallying showed that no candidate received the minimum >50% of the vote necessary to win outright.
[2] The two candidates with the most #1 ranked votes were Councilmember
Loren Taylor and Councilmember
Sheng Thao , with Taylor receiving slightly more votes.
[3] Vote tallying continued for over a week, before Thao was eventually declared winner on November 21.
[4] The final tally, after rank tallying, had Thao with 50.3% of the 113,636 votes and Taylor with 49.7%.
