2018 Tallahassee mayoral election Turnout 32.76% (first round) 38.19% (second round)
The 2018 Tallahassee mayoral election took place on August 28 and November 6, 2018, to elect the Mayor of
Tallahassee, Florida .
Incumbent mayor
Andrew Gillum decided to focus his campaign on the
2018 Florida gubernatorial election instead of seeking re-election which opened up a new seat for the mayor’s office. A
blanket primary was held on August 28 with both
John E. Dailey and Dustin R. Daniels receiving the most votes.
[1] Because neither the candidate received a majority, a
run-off election was held on November 8. From there, Dailey defeated Daniels by a close margin of 51% to 49%.
