The 2024 Burlington mayoral election will be held on March 5, 2024. It will elect the mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Incumbent Democratic mayor Miro Weinberger announced on September 28, 2023 that he would retire rather than seek re-election to a fifth term in office.[1]

Background

Miro Weinberger's victory in the 2012 mayoral election made him the first Democrat to serve as Burlington's mayor since Gordon Paquette lost re-election to Bernie Sanders in the 1981 election.[2] Weinberger was re-elected in 2015, 2018, and 2021. Weinberger is the longest serving consecutive mayor in Burlington history and second-longest serving overall after Peter Clavelle.[1]

The Democrats won a majority on the city council in the 2023 elections; previously, the Progressive Party held a plurality of seats on the council.[3]

This will be the first Burlington mayoral election to see the return of ranked-choice voting. Burlington previously used the system for the 2006 and 2009 mayoral elections before overturning it. Voters approved a referendum to re-adopt the system for mayoral races in the 2023 election, despite opposition from Weinberger.[4] Kurt Wright, the last Republican to serve on the Burlington city council and a former mayoral candidate, argued that the use of ranked-choice voting would help Republicans, as it meant a Republican could run for mayor and not "drain votes away from another candidate."[5]
