The first turn of municipal elections was held on 10 March (436 municipalities), 17 March (1,033 municipalities), 24 March (1,469 municipalities), 31 March (1,560 municipalities) and 7 April (1,139 municipalities). The second turn of elections was held on 6 October (272 municipalities), 13 October, 20 October (286 municipalities), 27 October (188 municipalities), 3 November, 10 November, 17 November and 24 November.
The municipal elections of March 10 were the first to which women could also participate.[1]
