Alameda 2026 Election: Mayor, Two Council Seats and Three City Ballot Measures

ALAMEDA, Alameda County — October 23, 2026. California58 Local checked the municipality’s source documents. Scheduled hearings, government initiatives, program evaluations and election filings are not predictions of future outcomes.

Which city offices are contested?

Alameda’s City Clerk lists a citywide mayoral race and two councilmember positions for the November 3, 2026 general municipal election. The listed candidates for mayor are Malia Vella, Tracy Jensen and Tony Daysog. The candidate documents should be read as official filings, not as proof of what voters will decide.

What are the council races?

The city publishes councilmember candidate information including Marcie Johnson, Tyler Savage and Thushan Amarasiriwardena. Readers should consult the final county sample ballot for the complete candidate list, ballot order and any qualified write-in rules. A candidate who received nomination papers does not automatically qualify.

What else is on the Alameda ballot?

The municipal election page says voters will see three city ballot measures. They are separate from county and statewide proposals. Each legal measure can have a specific tax, charter or city-service effect, so readers should consult the final wording and impartial analyses, not infer its effects from a campaign slogan.

Where to vote

Alameda County’s Registrar of Voters manages vote centers and ballot drop boxes. The city reports that drop boxes are accessible 24 hours a day until 8 p.m. November 3 and that in-person vote centers operate in the 11-day period before the election. Verify the closest approved location and any conditional registration rules with the county. California58 does not endorse candidates.
