The 1853 Philadelphia mayoral election saw the reelection of Charles Gilpin to a fourth consecutive term.[1]

This would ultimately be the last mayoral election before Philadelphia's county-city consolidation.[1] It would also be the last held for a single-year term as Philadelphia mayor.[1]

Electoral system

Beginning in 1839, the city operated under a mixed electoral system. Citizens voted for mayor in a general election. If a candidate receive 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]
