A blanket primary with six candidates together on the same ballot took place March 22, 2011.

As no candidate received a majority of the vote, a runoff election between the top two vote-getters, Republican Mike Hogan and Democrat Alvin Brown, took place on May 17, 2011.

In a close race, Brown defeated Hogan to become Jacksonville's first African-American mayor.

The runoff saw Brown win the narrowest election in Jacksonville mayoral history.
