Upcoming Elections

November 3, 2026 General Election

Chula Vista's next General Municipal Election will be consolidated with the Statewide General Election. The purpose of the 2026 elections is to elect individuals to the following seats:

Mayor
City Councilmember, District 1
City Councilmember, District 2
City Attorney

The General Election will be a runoff election for Mayor and City Councilmembers for Districts 1 and 2. The City Attorney seat was removed from the Primary Election ballot because only one qualified candidate timely submitted nomination papers for the office and the qualified candidate will appear on the General Election ballot.
