The 2026 St. Petersburg mayoral election will be held on August 18, 2026, to elect the mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election will be held on November 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the candidate who becomes the next mayor of St. Petersburg as a result of this election. Temporary, interim, or placeholder mayors appointed before the election will not be considered. If the result of this election isn't known by April 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting; however, if there is any ambiguity in the results, this market will resolve according to official information from the City of St. Petersburg or the State of Florida.Charlie Crist advanced from the August 18 primary as the top vote-getter with 35% in the nonpartisan St. Petersburg mayoral race, well ahead of incumbent Ken Welch’s 21%, setting up a November 3 runoff. Crist’s substantial fundraising advantage, exceeding $2 million compared to Welch’s far lower totals, combined with endorsements from multiple former mayors and eliminated candidates, has reinforced trader consensus around his position. Recent post-primary developments, including support from figures such as Maria Scruggs and Kevin Batdorf, further consolidate backing for Crist among key voter blocs. Market pricing reflects this primary performance and resource disparity as the dominant factors shaping implied probabilities for the runoff outcome.
