Partial local elections are coming up in four villages on the territory of Pernik region.
These are Studena, Lyulin, Bogdanov dol and Priboy, announced the Municipal Election Commissions in Pernik and Radomir.
The partial vote in the settlements was reached after the powers of their newly elected mayors were prematurely terminated.
In three of them - Studena, Bogdanov dol and Priboy, the winners of the local vote last year did not comply with the legal requirement within one month of taking the oath to terminate their participation in commercial companies. The mayor of the Pernik village Lyulin resigned for personal reasons.
There is only one candidate for the post of mayor in two of the villages - Studena and Lyulin. Two contenders will compete in the other two settlements.
Studena will be the only village where voting will take place in a total of two sections. There will be only one electoral commission in the remaining three seats.
