The mayor of Berkeley serves as both the leader of the City Council and chairs its meetings, holding critical roles in budget and agenda committees.
With a weak mayor system in place, the mayor's powers are limited, having only one vote in city council appointments, impacting the level of influence.
The upcoming mayoral race will bring to the fore the project priorities of the leading candidates, as they respond differently to community needs.
Ranked-choice voting is likely to play a significant role in the outcome of the election, particularly with three dominant candidates in the field.
