The municipal election of the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro took place on 2 October and 30 October 2016[1] to elect a Mayor, a Vice Mayor and 51 City Councillors for the administration of the city. The incumbent Mayor was Eduardo Paes of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), who couldn't run for re-election due to term limits.
