The 2026 Paris municipal election is scheduled to take place on 15 March 2026 with an eventual runoff on 22 March to elect the 163 members of the Council of Paris, which in turn will elect the Mayor of Paris. This election follows the two-term tenure of Socialist Anne Hidalgo, the first woman to serve as Paris mayor, who announced in November 2024 that she would not seek a third term. The election is expected to be highly competitive, featuring national figures such as Culture Minister Rachida Dati and former Transport Minister Thierry Mariani.
