The Philadelphia mayoral election of 1839 saw John Swift return to office for a seventh overall non-consecutive term. [1]
This was the first Philadelphia mayoral election in which members of the general public were able to vote. [1] Prior to this, the City Council solely elected mayors of Philadelphia. [1] Beginning in 1839, the city began to operate under a mixed electoral system. Citizens voted for mayor in a general election. If a candidate received a majority of the vote, they would be elected mayor. However, if no candidate received a majority, the City Council would select a mayor from the top-two finishers. [1]

Prior to this election, the city operated under a council–manager government system since 1919, with the city commissioners choosing the mayor, a mostly ceremonial office that had less power than the city manager. However, in March 1991, voters approved a referendum to allow a strong mayor and to transition the city government to a mayor-council structure. Thus, it was the first direct election for mayor of West Palm Beach since 1919.
