The mayors were determined by the toss of a coin.

In the municipal elections held on May 28 in Spain, the mayors were chosen through a “toss of a coin” because the candidates obtained the same votes in 5 localities with few populations.

Equal votes were awarded to candidates in 5 of the 8,131 municipalities where local elections were held in Spain. Since the mayor must be determined by lottery in case of equality under the country’s electoral laws, a lottery was applied to determine the mayors in these places with populations between 550 and 2,000.

The winners of the raffle held in public in the municipal buildings will hold office for 4 years until the next elections.

Due to the great success of the right-wing opposition parties in the local elections, the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, announced that the Spanish would go to the polls on July 23, by delaying the general elections that would normally be held at the end of the year. . (AA)
