Mayoral elections in Jackson are held every four years to elect the mayor of Jackson, Tennessee in the United States.

All Jackson municipal elections are required to be non-partisan, but candidates can be affiliated with a political party. Jackson uses a two-round system, where election runoffs are held if no candidate obtains the majority of the vote.[1]
