Elected mayor

LaToya Cantrell
Democratic

Incumbent Democratic Mayor Mitch Landrieu was term-limited and could not seek reelection. This was the first time since the 1977 New Orleans elections were held in the fall as opposed to February and March. In 2014, at Landrieu's request, the Louisiana State Legislature moved city elections from the spring, when New Orleans hosts the Mardi Gras and Sugar Bowl (and sometimes the Super Bowl). The change in schedule was made in an effort to improve voter turnout.[1]
