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.Karen Bass holds a clear lead in the November runoff for Los Angeles mayor, reflecting trader consensus around her incumbency advantages, stronger primary performance, and greater fundraising capacity ahead of the November 3 contest. Bass advanced with 34% in the June primary after highlighting reductions in street homelessness and crime during her term, while Nithya Raman, the progressive city councilmember who secured second place at 29%, has positioned herself as a sharper critic of citywide homelessness trends and housing costs. Recent developments, including their August debate exchanges over policing and shelter programs, along with reports of rising citywide homelessness contrasted against declines in Raman's district, have sharpened focus on these records without shifting the overall positioning.
