The Indianapolis mayoral election of 2011 took place on November 8, 2011. Voters elected the Mayor of Indianapolis, members of the Indianapolis City-County Council, as well as several other local officials. Incumbent Republican Greg Ballard was seeking a second term. Democrats nominated former deputy mayor Melina Kennedy to run against Ballard.[2][3] Ballard defeated Kennedy 51% to 47%.[4]
The Indianapolis City-County elections took place alongside the mayoral election, with Democrats taking a 16–13 majority.[4][5] This marked the first time in Indianapolis history that a Republican mayor would lead with a Democratic council.[6]
