What's on the ballot

Community council (avagani)i

Proportional vote in 19 communities: voters choose one party or alliance list, and council seats are distributed among the lists according to their votes. The CEC set 15–33 seats, depending on the community.

Community head

In list-vote communities, each list's #1 is its candidate for community head. In Fioletovo and Shamiram (majoritarian vote), voters choose between individual candidates, and the community head is elected directly.
