2020 Allier municipal elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2020 Allier municipal elections took place on 15 March 2020, with a second round of voting initially expected for 22 March 2020. Like the rest of France, the second round was initially suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 22 May, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe announced that the second round of voting would take place on the 28th of June.
Results by number of mayors elected
In 2020, only 32 communes in Allier had a second round of elections, with the majority being decided with a single round absolute majority.[1]
Aside from Bourbon-l'Archambault, candidates on the left were not able to recover communes lost in the previous elections, such as in Bellerive-sur-Allier, Cosne-d'Allier, Cusset, Gannat, Varennes-sur-Allier, and Vendat. The left was consoled with a victory in Commentry. The right easily retained its position in the four largest communes of the department, despite a perilous four-way second round in Montluçon.
