Electoral system

Voters elected the members of the municipal councils (consells de comú in Catalan). The electoral law allow the municipal councils to choose their number of seats, which must be an even number between 10 and 16.

Catalan language Romance language

Catalan is a Western Romance language derived from Vulgar Latin and named after the medieval Principality of Catalonia, in northeastern modern Spain. It is the only official language of Andorra, and a co-official language of the Spanish autonomous communities of Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and Valencia. It also has semi-official status in the Italian commune of Alghero. It is also spoken in the eastern strip of Aragon, in some villages of Region of Murcia called Carche and in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of France. These territories are often called Països Catalans or "Catalan Countries".

All city council members were elected in single multi-member districts, consisting of the parish territory, using closed lists. Half of the seats are allocated to the party with more votes. The other half of the seats were allocated using the Hare quota (including the winning party).

The cònsol major (mayor) and the cònsol menor (deputy mayor) were elected indirectly by the municipal councilliors after the election. [1]
