The 2017 Jersey City mayoral election will be held on November 7, 2017 to elect the Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey. Incumbent Steven Fulop is seeking a second term.
The Mayor of Jersey City is elected on a non-partisan basis, where the candidates are not listed by political party. This will be the first election held in November after a ballot question in 2016 was approved by voters, moving the election date from May. A runoff election will be held on December 5 if no candidate receives a majority on Election Day.
It was heavily speculated that incumbent Mayor Steven Fulop would run for the Democratic nomination for Governor of New Jersey in 2017, and would possibly not run for re-election as Mayor. However, in a surprise address on September 28, 2016, Fulop announced that he would not run for Governor, and would instead run for re-election, a decision which was reported to have caught even some of his closest allies off guard.
