After the election
The seats (mandates) in the municipal assembly are distributed according to the results of the municipality elections. A municipality board, boards and corporate boards are elected. The distribution of seats on boards and committees largely follows the election results but is often a matter of negotiation between the parties. If there is no agreement on the distribution of seats, the seats will be distributed proportionally according to the election results. The municipal assembly elects both full members and alternates.
To be a member of a municipality board or other boards, a person must be over 18 years old and resident in the municipality.
