Albay local elections were held on May 13, 2019, as part of the 2019 Philippine general election. Voters selected their candidates of choice for all local positions: municipal or city mayor, vice mayor and councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the vice-governor, governor and representatives for the three districts of Albay in the House of Representatives.[1] These elections were held following the first-past-the-post voting system, in which the candidate with the highest number (but not necessarily a majority) of votes is elected.

Governor

As with other provinces in the Philippines, the governor, and vice governor of Albay are elected separately. Therefore, they may be of different parties when elected.

One-term consecutive, four-term non-consecutive incumbent Governor Al Francis Bichara ran for reelection. Bichara's opponents included broadcast journalist[2] Hermogenes Alegre Jr., self-claimed general[3] Galma Arcilla, Vice Governor Harold Imperial,[4] and retired COMELEC Bicol Regional Director Zacarias Zaragoza.[5] The three perennial candidates who faced Bichara in 2016, Paul Aguilar, Mario Baquil, and Jaime Hernandez Jr., also ran again.
Bichara won reelection to a second consecutive, fifth non-consecutive term.
