The 2022 mayoral election in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina, was originally scheduled to be held on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, but was postponed until November 8, 2022 by the passage of a state law in June 2021 that permanently moved Raleigh municipal elections to even years.[1][2][3] The law also changed the requirement that winners attain a majority of the vote in a runoff if necessary, instead allowing election by a simple plurality. Incumbent mayorMary-Ann Baldwin sought election to a second term in office.[4] She was challenged by Terrance Ruth and DaQuanta Copeland.[5]
Baldwin succeeded in her bid for re-election, receiving 46.7% of the vote. Ruth finished in second with 40.6% and Copeland finished third with 10.1%.[6][7]
