On November 7, 2017, Atlanta will go to the polls to vote for mayor in a non-partisan election. Incumbent Mayor Kasim Reed is ineligible to run, as he has been term-limited out. If none of the candidates receive an absolute majority, a runoff will be held between the top two finishers on December 5, 2017.

The candidates for mayor are:

• Mary Norwood, who previously served on the Atlanta City Council and was a 2009 mayoral candidate in Atlanta.
• Keisha Lance-Bottoms, an Atlanta City Councilmember (District 11), where she served for three years. Lance-Bottoms authored legislation on panhandlers and helped balance the city's budget during her time as a councilmember.
• Peter Aman, who became the city of Atlanta's chief operating officer in 2010.
• Vincent Fort, who served in the Georgia State Senate for 20 years and, according to WSB-YV Atlanta, represented Fulton County for the 39th district.
• John Eaves, who served as the chairman of the Fulton County Commission.
• Kwanza Hall, who currently serves as a city councilman representing District 2. His website touts his focus on public safety, transportation, and affordable housing.
• Ceasar Mitchell, who is the incumbent President of the Atlanta City Council.
• Cathy Woolard, the former Atlanta City Council President.
