The election was triggered by the resignation of mayor Bobby Bright, who resigned in order to take a seat he was elected to in the United States House of Representatives.

The election was officially nonpartisan. Had no candidate received a majority of the vote, a runoff election would have been held between the top two candidates.

gollark: Sometimes I move from my chair to retrieve food and such.
