The Portuguese local election of 1982 took place on December 12 . This was the third local election in Portugal since the Democratic Revolution Of 1974 introduced the concept of democratic local power. The election consisted of three separate elections in the 305 Portuguese Municipalities that existed at the time, the election for the Municipal Chambers , whose winner is elected mayor, 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 Socialist Party finished once more on the top of the results table, increasing its share by 4%, however that was due to the fact that the coalition between the two major right-wing parties, the Democratic Social Center and the Social Democratic Party , the Democratic Alliance , did not participated in all Municipalities and Parishes, being the parties which composed it, separated in many Municipalities. This right wing coalition did, however, lose some voting in relation to the previous election. The left-wing United People Alliance dominated the election in the municipalities of the South of the country, gathering more than 60% of the voting and achieving its best result ever with 20.7% and 55 mayors.
