That's great news! Hope there's still enough people to keep Debbie Edgington in Caleta behind the wheel.

What is the system of voting in the local elections in May, do you vote for a local representative or for the party? and is the Mayor directly elected or the choice of the biggest party?

I believe you vote for the party and it is on the basis of proportional representation.

You vote for the party.
Each party has a list of candidates in numerical order, and the councillors are elected on proportional representation.
So if a party gets the majority of votes, the Number 1 candidate becomes mayor and then they go down the list. So, for example, the first 5 on the list might become councillors while the Numbers 6 down don't get in.

Thanks for that. Tony Pereira, who owns Don Pepe restaurant at Parque Holandes with his siblings and campaigned for the dunes road to remain open, is the PP candidate for mayor.
