Electoral system

The election, like other local elections in 2029, follow the first-past-the-post system where the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they do not win a majority. [1] It is possible for a candidate to run uncontested, in which case the candidate is still required to win a majority of votes "against" a "disagree" option. Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date. [2]
