Presidential elections were held in Portugal on 24 January. [1] The incumbent President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, was reelected for a second term.

Contents

The elections were held during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Portugal was under a lockdown as of election day. [2] President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was reelected by a landslide, winning 60.7 percent of the votes. [3] He won every district in the country and all 308 municipalities, a result which happened for the first time ever in Portuguese democracy; he won 3,083 parishes out of 3,092. [4] The election also marked the rise of right-wing candidate André Ventura, leader of CHEGA, who polled 3rd with almost 12 percent of the votes. [5] In second place, former MEP and Ambassador Ana Gomes was able to win 13 percent of the votes, the best result ever for a female candidate in a presidential election. [6] Just like in 2016, the Socialist Party (PS) didn't officially endorse any candidate, despite Ana Gomes being a PS member. [7] The rest of candidates did not receive above 5 percent each.

Voter turnout fell to 39 percent, a drop of nine percentage points, mainly due to the automatic registration of overseas voters; this practice increased the number of registered voters to almost 11 million. [8] In Portugal alone, turnout stood at 45.45 percent, a decrease of 4.6 percentage points when compared to the 2016 election. This was the lowest drop in turnout in an election with an incumbent running since 1980. [9]

Background

Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was elected in 2016 with 52.00% of the votes on the first round. [10] He took the oath of office on 9 March 2016 and has been in cohabitation with Socialist Prime Minister António Costa since then. [11]

In Portugal, the president is the head of state and has mostly ceremonial powers. [12] However, the president does have some political influence, and can dissolve the Parliament of Portugal if a crisis occurs. The president's official residence is the Belém Palace in Lisbon. [13]

Electoral system

Under Portuguese law, a candidate must receive a majority of votes (50% plus one vote) to be elected. If no candidate achieved a majority in the first round, a runoff election (i.e., second round, held between the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round) should be held. [14]

In order to stand for election, candidates must be of Portuguese origin and over 35 years old, gather 7,500 signatures of support one month before the election and submit them to the Constitutional Court of Portugal. [15] The Constitutional Court then certifies the candidacies which meet the requirements to appear on the ballot. The highest number of candidacies ever accepted was ten in 2016. [16]

Early voting

Voters were also able to vote early, which would happen one week before election day on 17 January 2021. Voters had to register between 10 and 14 January in order to be eligible to cast an early ballot; a total of 246,880 voters requested to vote early in 2021. [17] On 17 January, 197,903 voters (80.16 percent of voters that registered) cast an early ballot. [13] [18]

Candidates

There were seven candidates certified to run in this election. In addition, the Constitutional Court rejected Eduardo Baptista's nomination due to insufficient signatures, although his name still appeared on the ballot. Six more individuals had announced their intention to run for President, but did not present any application to the Court, two of whom publicly stated that they would withdraw, which includes Democratic Republican Party (PDR) leader Bruno Fialho who, despite saying he had enough signatures, decided to drop out in order to "not to spend thousands of euros on the country". [19] Finally, three more individuals were, for a while, thought of as potential or speculative candidates, but later ruled out any type of candidacy.

Issues

The campaign was severely limited by the COVID-19 pandemic, with candidates being forced to reduce campaign events to a minimum due to movement limitations imposed by the Government to prevent the spread of the virus. There were mandatory curfews in several municipalities and movement between all municipalities was prohibited during the weekends. [41]

At the beginning of the electoral campaign, the president of the French National Rally party, Marine Le Pen, confirmed that she would go to Lisbon to support André Ventura's presidential candidacy. [42]
