- The Portuguese local elections of 2013 took place on 29 September. The elections consisted of three types of elections in the 308 Portuguese municipalities, namely the elections for the Municipal Chambers, whose winners are elected mayors, the elections for the Municipal Assemblies, as well as the elections for the lower-level Parish Assemblies, whose winners are elected parish presidents. The latter were held separately in the more than 3,000 parishes around the country. The number of parishes had been reduced by over 1000 due to a local government reform undertaken by the Government led by Pedro Passos Coelho. The process of submitting candidacies for these elections was marked by differences in the interpretation of the pertinent electoral law. This law prohibits a candidate, after having served for three terms, to run for Mayor, Municipal Assemblies or Parish Assemblies. But the law does not explicitly state whether it prohibits reelection only for the same municipality or parish, or for the same position in any municipality or parish. Candidates affected by this issue included Luís Filipe Menezes (PSD), running in Porto, and (PSD/CDS–PP), who was standing in Lisbon. This controversy ended on 5 September 2013 with the decision of the Constitutional Court allowing mayoral candidates that had already served three consecutive mandates to run for election in a different municipality. The Socialist Party (PS) won the largest number of municipal chambers in its history surpassing its previous best result in 2009. It also won the largest number of mayorships of any party in the history of Portugal. The PS also reconquered Coimbra and won in two large strongholds of the Social Democratic Party, Vila Real and Funchal. The Social Democratic Party (PSD) was the biggest loser of these elections, as it lost almost a third of the municipalities that it had held. However, the PSD did gain several traditionally Socialist bastions like Braga and Guarda. The communist Democratic Unity Coalition won in the cities of Loures, Beja and Évora. The election was also marked by the strong electoral performances of various independent groups, which won several chambers. The most significant was the victory of independent Rui Moreira in Porto, who was supported by CDS-PP. The Democratic Unity Coalition increased its number of municipal chambers as well as its number of councilors by winning several chambers previously held by the Socialists, including winning back their historical stronghold of Loures. However, despite increasing their overall number of mayors, they also lost three chambers they won in 2009 to the Socialists; Chamusca, Crato, and Nisa. In Chamusca they had held the mayorship since 1979. The People's Party (CDS-PP) broke a cycle of decline in local elections and won five municipalities, four more than in 2009. The Left Bloc suffered a heavy defeat, losing the only chamber they had, and electing fewer councillors than in 2009. The turnout in these elections was the lowest ever, with 52.6% of voters casting their ballot. (en)

- Les élections municipales portugaises de 2013 ont lieu le 29 septembre 2013. L'élection de 308 maires, conseils municipaux, ainsi que les présidents et députés des sont remises en jeu. À cause de la réforme de l'administration locale, entreprise par le XIXe gouvernement constitutionnel portugais, il y eut une réduction du nombre de freguesias et des mandats associés. Le processus de candidature à ces élections fut marqué par des divergences sur l'interprétation de la loi de limitation des mandats, qui interdit la recandidature des responsables après trois mandats consécutifs. La polémique porte sur le fait que la loi ne précise pas explicitement si sont seulement interdits les recandidatures au poste de dirigeant d'une municipalité ou freguesia, ou, au contraire, il est interdit de se postuler à la même charge, indépendamment du territoire où ils l'exercent. Les candidatures les plus polémiques sont celles de (PSD/PPM/MPT) à Porto et (PSD/CDS-PP/MPT) à Lisbonne. Cette polémique se termine le 5 septembre 2013 avec la décision du Tribunal constitutionnel qui considère que la limitation des mandats est territoriale et qui donne le feu vert aux candidatures de responsables politiques qui ont complété trois mandats consécutifs s'ils font candidature dans un autre lieu. La campagne électorale fut marquée par l'absence de couverture télévisuelle à la suite de divergences avec la qui voulait une couverture identique de tous les candidats. Seule la chaine Porto canal organisa des débats entre les candidats des municipalités du nord, il n'y eut pas de débats télévisés entre les candidats à Lisbonne. La couverture des radios et journaux fut aussi très diminuée. Le résultat des élections donna une "victoire importante" au parti socialiste et sanctionna le gouvernement de centre droit. (fr)

- As eleições autárquicas portuguesas de 2013 foram realizadas a 29 de setembro. Estavam em disputa a eleição de 308 presidentes de câmaras municipais, os seus vereadores e assembleias municipais, bem como 3 091 presidentes de junta de freguesia e as respectivas assembleias. Com os resultados destas eleições, o PS passou a reclamar o título de maior partido autárquico, detendo a presidência de 150 câmaras (uma delas, Funchal, em coligação) contra 106 do PSD (20 das quais em coligação). A CDU aumentou em seis o número de câmaras, ficando com 34, e obtendo no processo o seu melhor resultado autárquico desde 1997. O CDS-PP, com Victor Mendes, manteve a câmara de Ponte de Lima, que já detinha, e conquistou ainda os municípios de Velas, Santana, Albergaria-a-Velha e Vale de Cambra, ficando com 5 câmaras. Já o B.E. perdeu, para o PS, a única câmara que detinha, Salvaterra de Magos, cuja presidente, Ana Cristina Ribeiro, estava impedida de se recandidatar devido à lei da limitação de mandatos. Nos quatro municípios mais populosos (Lisboa, Sintra, Gaia e Porto), apenas o detentor da câmara de Lisboa, António Costa (PS), podia recandidatar-se, tendo sido reeleito com maioria absoluta (51%). Em Sintra e Gaia, o PS venceu com maioria relativa, com Basílio Horta (27%) e Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues (38%) a sucederem, respectivamente, a Fernando Seara e Luís Filipe Menezes, ambos do PSD. No caso do Porto, o independente (com apoio do CDS-PP) Rui Moreira consegue 39% dos votos, sucedendo a Rui Rio, também do PSD. As listas de grupos de cidadãos venceram em treze câmaras. Com os polémicos Valentim Loureiro (Gondomar) e Isaltino Morais (Oeiras) impedidos de se recandidatar, foram reeleitos Guilherme Pinto (dissidente do PS, em Matosinhos), Adelaide Teixeira (dissidente do PSD, em Portalegre), Paulo Vistas (pelo movimento de Isaltino Morais, em Oeiras e Luís Mourinha (Estremoz). Foram eleitos pela primeira vez António Matos Recto (pelo movimento de Alfredo Barroso, em Redondo), Rui Moreira (apoiado pelo CDS-PP, no Porto), Joaquim Bonifácio (apoiado pelo PS e pelo CDS-PP, em Aguiar da Beira), Fernando Nogueira (dissidente do PS, em Vila Nova de Cerveira), Teresa Belém Cardoso (dissidente do PSD, em Anadia), António Anselmo (dissidente do PS, em Borba), José António Garcês (São Vicente), Filipe Sousa (Santa Cruz) e Décio Pereira (Calheta).

- Kommunalval (eleições autárquicas) hålls vart fjärde år i Portugal. Väljarna får då tre röstsedlar (boletim de voto), och väljer ledamöterna i de lokala 308 kommunstyrelserna (câmara municipal), i de lokala 308 kommunfullmäktigen (assembleia municipal) och i de lokala 3092 kommundelsfullmäktigen (assembleia de freguesia).Ledaren för det parti som får flest röster i den valda kommunstyrelsen blir som regel kommunordförande (presidente da câmara). Likaledes blir ledaren för det parti som får flest röster i den valda kommundelsfullmäktige kommundelsordförande (presidente da junta). Ordföranden i samtliga kommundelsfullmäktigen får automatiskt plats i kommunens kommunfullmäktige. Exempelvis i Lissabon, väljer man en kommunstyrelse med 17 exekutiva ledamöter varav 1 är ordförande, samt stadens kommunfullmäktige med 75 lagstiftande ledamöter varav 51 är direktvalda och 24 är ordföranden i de 24 stadsdelar. För var och en av Lissabons 24 stadsdelar väljs in en stadsdelsfullmäktige. (sv)
