The 2001 Cincinnati mayoral election took place on November 6, 2001, to elect the Mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio. The election was officially nonpartisan, with the top two candidates from the primary election advancing to the general election, regardless of party. This was the first election in Cincinnati where the mayor was elected directly. Previously, the person that got the most votes in the city council elections automatically became mayor.[1]
While the election was nonpartisan, Luken was associated with the Democratic Party and Fuller was affiliated with the Charter Party.
