Recount due to minimal difference
Following the decision of the Central Electoral Committee, a public recount will take place on March 24 in the council chamber of the town hall. The request for a recount stems from the extremely narrow margin in votes when allocating the remaining seats. Given the difference of only a few votes, maximum care has been taken in the process. The recount will be held at the town hall from 9:30 to 11:30 AM and is open to the public.
