2020 Romanian local elections

|---|
Local elections in Romania are scheduled to be held on 27 September, 2020.[1]
Initially planned for June 2020, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the Government of Romania postponing the elections to a date no later than 31 December 2020, and extending all the terms of the local offices due to expire on 5 June 2020. The move was deemed unconstitutional, and, in the end, a law was passed that extended the terms of the local officials up to 30 November 2020, and allowed the elections to be called by Parliament, rather than by Government, no later than that day. On 8 July 2020, the Parliament of Romania adopted a law setting the date of the elections on 27 September 2020.[2]
Using a first past the post system, the following offices will be contested:[3]
- all the commune, town, and city councils (Local Councils, Romanian: Consilii Locale), and the Sectors Local Councils of Bucharest (Romanian: Consilii Locale de Sector)
- the 41 County Councils (Romanian: Consilii Județene), and the Bucharest Municipal General Council (Romanian: Consiliul General Al Municipiului București). The 41 Presidents of the County Councils (Romanian: Președinții Consiliilor Județene) will be indirectly elected by the County Councilors.
- all the mayors (Romanian: Primarii)
- of the communes, cities, and municipalities
- of the Sectors of Bucharest (Romanian: Primarii de Sector)
- The General Mayor of The Municipality of Bucharest (Romanian: Primarul General al Municipiului București)
