Local elections will be held in Portugal in late September or early October of 2025. The election consistes of three separate elections in the 308 Portuguese municipalities, the election for the Municipal Chambers, whose winner is automatically elected mayor, similar to first-past-the-post (FPTP), another election for the Municipal Assembly, as well an election for the lower-level Parish Assembly, whose winner is elected parish president. This last will be held separately in the more than 3,000 parishes around the country.
In this election, 38.3 percent of incumbent mayors, 118 to be precise, will be barred from running for another term: 54 from the PS, 44 from the PSD, 11 from CDU, 5 Independents, 3 from the CDS–PP and 1 from Together for the People.[2] The number of parishes up for election could also grow from the current 3,092 because of changes in the 2013 local reform law that will allow the separation of merged parishes.[3]
