A primary election was scheduled to be held on September 9, 2025, in which the two highest-placing candidates would advance to the general election. However, it was cancelled following the June 11 filing deadline closing with only two candidates on the ballot.[1] Municipal elections in Cleveland are officially nonpartisan.
