The 2026 Chandler mayoral election was held on July 21, 2026, to elect the mayor of Chandler. Incumbent Republican mayor Kevin Hartke was term-limited and ineligible to seek re-election. A general election was planned for November 3, coinciding with the 2026 Midterm elections, but since only two candidates filed to run this was not necessary.
Democratic City Councilmember Matt Orlando won the election with 58.46% of the vote, defeating Republican Arizona state representative Jeff Weninger.
All Chandler city municipal elections are non-partisan, but candidates can be affiliated with a political party.
