The 2020 San Diego elections are scheduled for the offices of mayor, city attorney, and city council. The primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2020, and the general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Five of the nine council seats will be contested. No council incumbents are standing for reelection.
Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan, although most members do identify a party preference. A two-round system will be used for the elections, starting with primaries in March followed by runoff elections in November between the top-two candidates in each race.
Campaign[edit]
Seats in districts 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 were up for election. Incumbents Mark Kersey (District 5) and Scott Sherman (District 7) were ineligible to run for reelection due to term limits. The other three incumbent council members chose to run for higher office rather than seek reelection: Barbara Bry (District 1) for mayor of San Diego, Chris Ward (District 3) for seat California's 78th State Assembly district, and Georgette Gómez (District 9) for California's 53rd congressional district.[1]
