The February 2025 Aventura mayoral election decided the sixth mayor of Aventura. The candidates on the ballot were AnimeInc, lukeyyyMC_ and RylandW, all of whom ran as independents.[1] The incumbent mayor, CopTop_YT, will be succeeded by RylandW, who was declared the winner of the election after lukeyyyMC_'s votes were reallocated with the single transferable vote system.
Two of the candidates, ItsKatto and RylandW, each received 21 first preference votes, and so the election was decided by the second preference votes of LukeyyyMC_ voters.
