Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:ElectionsME Portland, Maine, held an election for mayor on November 5, 2019.[1] It was the third election to be held since Portland voters approved a citywide referendum changing the city charter to recreate an elected mayor position in 2010.[2]

Kate Snyder, the newly citizen-elected mayor, won a four-year term in the full-time position, and will exercise the powers and duties enumerated in Article II Section 5 of the Portland City Charter.[3] She was elected using ranked choice voting.[4] With rest of the elected municipal government in Portland, the post is officially non-partisan.[5] Incumbent Mayor Ethan Strimling running for re-election,[6] was challenged by city councilor Spencer Thibodeau, former Portland School Board Chair Kate Snyder and East End resident Travis Curran.[7]

Every candidate running for Mayor in the heavily Democratic city was a registered member of the Maine Democratic Party.
