Electoral system
The 12-person municipal council is elected by open listproportional representation. Voters vote for a party list and then may strike through candidates they do not wish to cast a preferential vote for and may add names of candidates from other lists.
The mayor is elected by a majority vote, and is also a member of the municipal council. If none of the candidates achieve a majority in the first round, a second round would be held four weeks later, where the candidate with a plurality would be elected as a mayor.
