The 1884 Wellington City mayoral election was part of the New Zealand local elections held that same year to decide who would take the office of Mayor of Wellington.
Incumbent mayor George Fisher sought re-election for a fourth term and was successful, seeing off challenges from councillor James Petherick Jr. and former mayor George Allen. [1] There was a large number of protest votes cast against Fisher with many voters thinking he had been mayor for long enough as well as taking exception to him reneging on a pledge at the previous election that he would not stand again. As such, while Fisher was re-elected, his large majorities from previous elections was cut dramatically. [2]
