  • The Portland, Maine City Council is the legislative branch of government for the city of Portland, Maine. It is a nine seat council, composed of representatives from the city's five districts, three councilors elected citywide and the full-time elected Mayor of Portland. The eight councilors are elected for three-year terms, while the Mayor is elected for a four-year term. The Council is officially non-partisan, though councilors are often known for their political party affiliation. In 1923, the system was changed from a strong mayor system to a weak, largely ceremonial mayor position due to the influence of the Maine Ku Klux Klan, which resented the perceived growing political power of ethnic and religious minorities. In 2011 the city charter was changed to allow an election for mayor again in 2011. Subsequent elections were held in 2015 and 2019. In 2020, voters approved a proposal to switch elections for City Council and school board to ranked-choice elections. The Portland City Council meets at Portland City Hall, an historic 1909 building on Congress Street. (en)
