Local elections were held in Santa Rosa City on May 9, 2016 within the Philippine general election. The voters elected for the elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, and ten councilors.

Overview

Incumbent Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas is term-limited; she would run for representative of the 1st District of Laguna instead. She switched places with incumbent Congressman Dan Fernandez, who is also term-limited and ran for Mayor under Liberal Party. His opponents were incumbent Vice Mayor Arnel Gomez under Nationalist People's Coalition and Alicia Lazaga under Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan. Gomez was Mayor Arcillas's running mate in 2010 and 2013 who decided to run for Mayor despite being eligible to run for a third consecutive term.

Mayor Arcillas's brother, Arnold, ran for Vice Mayor under Liberal Party. He previously served as the City Information Technology Officer Designate. His opponents were incumbent councilors Ma. Theresa "Tess" Aala, Gomez's running mate under Nationalist People's Coalition, and Sonia Laserna, a standalone candidate under Aksyon Demokratiko.
