Background
editIn 2019, Philadelphians re-elected Jim Kenney to a second term as mayor and four new councilmembers joined the city council. Katherine Gilmore Richardson and Isaiah Thomas were elected to at-large seats. Jamie Gauthier beat incumbent Jannie Blackwell in the District 3 primary and Kendra Brooks made history as the first third-party city councilmember in Philadelphia as a Working Families Party candidate.
In preparation for the 2023 Philadelphia mayoral election, four City Councilmembers resigned (Green, Domb, Parker, and Quiñones-Sánchez) to run or prepare to run for mayor. While three were still considering running (Gym, Oh, and Bass). Council President Darrell Clarke announced a special election to replace the members.
6th District Councilmember Bobby Henon resigned after being convicted of corruption charges and was replaced with Michael Driscoll. 2nd District Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson was facing bribery charges in the months leading up to the election, but was acquitted on November 2, five days before Election Day.[1]

At-Large Seats
editPhiladelphia City Council has seven at-large seats, two of which must be represented by a minority party. Two at-large seats were temporarily vacant due to the resignations of Derek S. Green and Allan Domb to consider mayoral runs. They were filled in the special election on November 8, 2022. There will be three open seats in the 2023 election due to the resignations of Helen Gym and David Oh, and the retirement of Sharon Vaughn.
Each party may nominate five candidates for the general election. Voters can select up to five candidates in both the primary and general.

Notes
edit- ^ This number represents the total votes cast in the race, not the total number of people who voted. Because each voter could choose up to five candidates, the number of people who voted in this election is likely far lower. For example, in the concurrent mayoral race, only 305,987 votes were cast.
