Thomas William Hislop, the incumbent Mayor, sought re-election and retained office unopposed with no other candidates emerging.[1] The mayoral contest coincided with a vacancy on theWellington City Council following the resignation of councillor Arthur Gibbs triggering a by-election. Nine candidates contested the seat which was ultimately won by ex-councillor John Smith Jr. who had unsuccessfully stood for mayor against Hislop the previous year.
