The New Orleans mayoral election of 2010 is an election for Mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana. The first round of voting took place on December 9 through December 11, 2009, and the election occurred on February 6, 2010. The incumbent mayor, Ray Nagin, was ineligible to run for the office again due to term limits.
On February 6, Mitch Landrieu was elected Mayor of New Orleans, and was sworn in on May 3, 2010.
Several candidates in multiple parties registered to run for the office of Mayor of New Orleans.
It is worth noting that the 2010 New Orleans mayoral election occurred on the day before Super Bowl XLIV, the first (and only) Super Bowl for which the New Orleans Saints have ever competed. The year's highly successful football season brought about an unprecedented amount of local support for the team and resulted in relatively low voter turnouts due to preoccupation with city-wide celebrations.
