TBD

The 2017 El Paso city elections will be held in May 2017 to elect the Mayor and City Council of El Paso, Texas. Incumbent Mayor Oscar Leeser is eligible for another term, but announced in July 2016 he will not seek another term. Leeser had a cancer-related surgery in 2016, but states that his decision is not because of his health. Instead, it is because he "ran to do things I thought were really important for our community and I did that."[1] [2]

The election is non-partisan; therefore there is no primary election. However, if no candidate wins a majority there will be a run-off election.[3]

The mayor and council members elected in 2017 will serve through December 2020. The term is shortened because of a charter amendment to move city elections from May in odd-numbered years to November in even-numbered years.[4]
