The 2016 Puerto Rican municipal election was held on November 8, 2016, to elect the mayors of the 78 municipalities of Puerto Rico, concurrently with the election of the Governor, the Resident Commissioner, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The winners were elected to a four-year term from January 3, 2017, to January 3, 2021.
The Popular Democratic Party kept most of the municipalities, only going from 47 to 45. 8 municipalities flipped parties, these being Aguada, Aguas Buenas, Cataño, Ciales, Las Marías, Loiza, Morovis, Vega Alta. The most shocking flip was Loiza, which had been under New Progressive Party control since 1973.[1]
