The 2019 Kyrloth Speaker Election will be held in Kyrloth on Tuesday 1 October 2019.

The Speaker of the House is in charge of overseeing the day-to-day running of the House of Debate, and has the power to, among other things, delay any legislation that they deem to be unconstitutional for up to one month, in order for an independent committee of specialist lawyers to evaluate its legitimacy. This power was, despite the calls of many members of parliament, never used during the Tass administration, leading to accusations of corruption and bribery.

The Socialist Party, Council of Scientists and Resource Control Board have formed a temporary electoral alliance known as "The Opposition" - a direct reference to the revolutionary political organization of the same name that overthrew the dictator Elwin Arachne in 1918 - to field the candidate Sereia Astur, a zrei elf journalist and former local councilor for the Centre Alliance.
