The 2017 Flint mayoral recall election took place on November 7, 2017. Incumbent Mayor Karen Weaver ran to retain her seat after opponents, alleging corruption, gathered signatures to force a recall election two years into Weaver's term as Mayor. Seventeen opponents filed to run against Weaver in the election, the most prominent of which was City Councilman Scott Kincaid. Weaver ultimately prevailed in the recall election, winning 53 percent of the vote.
