The Portuguese local elections of 2009 took place on 11 October. The elections consisted of three separate elections in the 308 Portuguese municipalities, the election for the Municipal Chambers, whose winner is elected president, another election for the Municipal Assembly and a last one for the lower-level Parish Assembly, whose winner is elected parish president. This last was held separately in the more than 4,000 parishes around the country. The elections resulted almost in a tie between the Socialist Party and the Social Democratic Party, in which the Social Democrats lost almost 20 municipalities and also lost a considerable number of councilors. The Socialists, despite losing in number of municipal chambers, were the party that most councilors elected, a situation that has not happened since 1993 when in these elections the PSD elected more councilors than the PS but the PS elected more mayors than the PSD. The Socialists won also a decisive victory in Lisbon where the incumbent mayor, António Costa, defeated the former mayor and Prime Minister Pedro Santana Lopes by a considerable margin. The Social Democratic Party lost some municipalities to the Socialists, but they did hold on municipalities like Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, Sintra and Coimbra. The People's Party won only one municipality, Ponte de Lima, continuing its decline in comparison, for example, with the 36 mayors achieved in 1976. On the left, the Democratic Unitarian Coalition, led by the Communist Party, obtained their worst result in history, winning less than 10% of the vote and losing 4 municipalities including Beja and Évora. The Left Bloc kept the presidency of its single municipality, Salvaterra de Magos. The election was again marked by several victories of independent candidates, most of them former Socialist, Social Democratic candidates who were expelled or given no confidence by their respective parties and, even so, became mayors. The best known were Valentim Loureiro in Gondomar and Isaltino Morais in Oeiras. Fátima Felgueiras, independent candidate in Felgueiras, suffered a surprised defeat by the Social Democratic candidate after winning the election in 2005 with more than 47% of the vote. Turnout in these election was the lowest in local election, as only 59% of the electorate cast a ballot, although the number of ballots cast in the election was the highest ever in local elections.

As eleições autárquicas portuguesas de 2009 foram realizadas em 11 de outubro. Estavam em disputa a eleição de 308 presidentes de câmaras municipais, os seus vereadores e assembleias municipais e 4 141 presidentes de juntas de freguesia e as respectivas assembleias. O PSD era até aquela data o maior partido autárquico detendo a presidência de 157 câmaras, contra 110 do PS. Um pouco distante aparecia a CDU com 32 presidências de câmara. O CDS-PP com Daniel Campelo em Ponte de Lima e o B.E. em Salvaterra de Magos tinham uma câmara cada. As restantes sete pertenciam a três independentes polémicos, Fátima Felgueiras (Felgueiras), Valentim Loureiro (Gondomar) e Isaltino Morais (Oeiras), os dois últimos reeleitos e ainda a José Manuel de Carvalho Marques (Sabrosa), Luís Manuel da Silva Azevedo (Alcanena), Alfredo Falamino Barroso (Redondo) e João Paulo de Almeida Lança Trindade (Alvito). Após as eleições, o PSD continua a reclamar o título de maior partido autárquico detendo a presidência de 139 câmaras contra 132 do PS. A CDU baixou em quatro o número de câmaras, ficando com 28. O CDS-PP com Victor Manuel Alves Mendes em Ponte de Lima e o B.E. com Ana Cristina Pardal Ribeiro em Salvaterra de Magos mantiveram as câmaras que já detinham. Nas quatro câmaras mais populosas os seus antigos detentores foram reeleitos, todos com maioria absoluta. Lisboa do PS com António Costa (44%), e as restantes do PSD, Sintra com Fernando Seara (42,3%), Porto com Rui Rio (47,5%) e Gaia com Luís Filipe Menezes (62%). As listas de grupos de cidadãos (independentes), venceram em sete câmaras. Para além dos polémicos, Valentim Loureiro (Gondomar) e Isaltino Morais (Oeiras) que foram reeleitos, foram de novo eleitos Alfredo Falamino Barroso (Redondo, Évora), José Lopes Gonçalves Barbosa (Amares, Braga) anteriormente eleito nas listas do PS e Manuel Coelho Carvalho (Sines, Setúbal), dissidente da CDU. Venceram ainda as suas câmaras, João Maria Aranha Grilo (Alandroal) e Luis Filipe Pereira Mourinha (Estremoz) ambos no distrito de Évora. Fátima Felgueiras (Felgueiras, Porto), contra todas as previsões, não foi reeleita, recusando de imediato o cargo de vereadora a que teria direito por ser cabeça de lista da segunda força mais votada.
