The second round of local elections were held in Slovenia on Sunday. There is a two-round system and a second ballot was required in 74 municipalities.

The turnout was 48.8 per cent, according to the Slovenian Electoral Commission. While this is clearly a second-order election, there seems to be little coherent picture emerging. In some places, independents did well, which confirms a certain trend from the first round. However, often the ‘independent’ candidates are actually close to established parties.

Rational choice theorists will be delighted to learn that in one election there was a tied vote. Ah, the rationality of voting.

The results of the different municipalities are available here.
