Snap mayoral elections were held on 7 December 2025 in the Romanian capital city of Bucharest, following the election of former mayor Nicușor Dan as President of Romania earlier that year.[1]
The General Mayor of Bucharest is elected through a secret, direct, and universal vote. The elections are held in a single round, a candidate being declared winner if they obtain the most votes from registered voters within the electoral list of the city.[2] The mayor's term expires after four years, although in the election's unique context the mayor's term will expire in 2028, when local elections will be held nationally. Candidacies can be registered only if they are supported by at least 20.000 voters with their residence in Bucharest.
