Incumbent mayor Andrew Ginther ran unopposed for reelection to a second term. However, write-in votes were allowed.
Party | Candidate | Votes | % | |

A write-in candidate is a candidate whose name does not appear on the ballot but seeks election by asking voters to cast a vote for the candidate by physically writing in the person's name on the ballot. Depending on electoral law it may be possible to win an election by winning a sufficient number of such write-in votes, which count equally as if the person were formally listed on the ballot.
