The 2008 Orlando mayoral election took place on January 29, 2008. Incumbent Mayor Buddy Dyer ran for re-election to a second full term. Dyer was challenged by businessman Ken Mulvaney, his main opponent in the 2004 election. Mulvaney challenged his loss in the election, alleging that Dyer illegally paid a consultant to collect absentee ballots, which culminated in Dyer's indictment and suspension from office, and a special election. However, the charges were ultimately dropped against Dyer, he was restored to office, and the special election was cancelled.[1]
The race between Dyer and Mulvaney attracted less attention their 2004 campaign,[2] and ultimately saw Dyer win re-election in a landslide, receiving 60 percent of the vote to Mulvaney's 40 percent.[3]
