Notably, there has been a decrease in the number of women candidates compared to previous periods. Most of the nominations are concentrated in the age group of 50-60 years, and the majority of candidates hold a General Education Diploma. objections to these lists can be submitted within five days via the election app or website. The final lists will then be announced, followed by the start of the electoral campaign. Data shows a variation in the number of candidates compared to previous periods, with increased participation of older age groups and the introduction of a "competence and opinion" mechanism, which has contributed to greater female representation in the municipal councils.
