A municipal election took place in Madrid on Sunday, 2 May 1909, seeking to renew the 22 vacant posts of the City Council. This was the first municipal election celebrated under the {{ill|1907 Electoral Law|es|Ley Electoral de 1907}} of Antonio Maura, enacting compulsory voting.{{Sfn|Soldevilla|1910|p=181}}
Results
There was no election in the district of Universidad as there was the same number of candidates than vacant councillors; and thus the candidates were proclaimed in accordance with the article 29 of the electoral law.{{Sfn|Soldevilla|1910|pp=181-182}} The definitive results (grouped by partisan affiliation) resulted into 12 Republicans, 5 conservatives, 3 from the Social Defence, 1 liberal and 1 democrat.{{cite journal|journal=Heraldo de Madrid|date=3 May 1909|location=Madrid|title=Elecciones municipales.

The general turnout grew up until roughly a 70% of the electorate (manhood suffrage) thanks to the compulsory voting established in the Electoral Law, but it refuted the wrong perception Maura upheld about the until then disenfranchised masses supposedly being conservative, thus guaranteeing Conservative majorities.{{Sfn|Hernández Quero|Miguel Salanova|2018|p=253}}
The results of the election along those from the next election celebrated in December 1909 would turn the municipal group jointly integrated by Republicans and Socialists the largest in the council (with 23 members).{{Sfn|Hernández Quero|Miguel Salanova|2018|p=247}}
