2023 Andorran local elections

Local elections in Andorra were held on 17 December to elect all councillors in the seven parishes of Andorra.^[1]^[2] Voter turnerout was 54.75% dropping over 1.5% in comparison to the 2019 elections.^{[citation needed]}

Electoral system

Voters will elect the members of the municipal councils (consells de comú in Catalan). The Electoral Law allows the municipal councils to choose their number of seats, which must be an even number between 10 and 16.

All city council members will be elected in single multi-member districts, consisting of the whole parish, using closed lists. Half of the seats will be allocated to the party with the most votes. The other half of the seats were allocated using the Hare quota (including the winning party). With this system, the winning party obtained an absolute majority.

The cònsol major (mayor) and the cònsol menor (deputy mayor) will be elected indirectly by the municipal councillors after the election.^[3]

Parties and leaders

A total of 14 lists are contesting the election. In Canillo there is only one candidacy contesting the election; in Sant Julià de Lòria, three; and two on the remaining parishes. ^[4]
