Article 20
 

Municipal elections shall as a rule be by restricted proportional representation.

In the event that no list of candidates is submitted prior to the expiry of the time limit for notification of candidacy, or if so few names are on lists of candidates that the municipal council will not be fully manned through restricted elections, the elections shall then be unrestricted.
