A look at who is running for Atlanta mayor in November 2025

Atlanta's mayoral election features incumbent Andre Dickens competing for re-election against Helmust "Love" Domagalski, Kalema Jackson, and Eddie Meredith. The mayor's role includes enforcing the City Charter and overseeing city departments, with the authority to appoint key positions such as the police chief and fire chief. The race is nonpartisan, allowing candidates to run independently of political parties, with each term lasting four years and a two-term limit in place. Early voting is scheduled from October 14 to October 31, leading up to Election Day on November 4. Should no candidate secure over 50% of the votes, a runoff election will follow on December 3.

The Center for Civic Innovation highlights the importance of engaging voters in this pivotal race.
