The2017New Orleans mayoral election was held on November 18, 2017. On October 14 all candidates competed on one ballot regardless of party registration (called the nonpartisan blanket primary or "Louisiana primary ").
IncumbentDemocratic MayorMitch Landrieu wasterm-limited and could not seek reelection. This was the first time since the1977 that New Orleans elections were held in the fall as opposed to February and March.

The change in schedule was made in an effort to improvevoter turnout .[ 1]
