2020 Allier municipal elections
The 2020 Allier municipal elections took place on 15 March 2020, with a second round of voting initially expected for 22 March 2020. Like the rest of France, the second round was initially suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic . On 22 May, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe announced that the second round of voting would take place on the 28th of June.
Incumbent and elected mayors [ edit ]
In 2020, only 32 communes in Allier had a second round of elections, with the majority being decided with a single round absolute majority.[ 1]
Aside from Bourbon-l'Archambault , candidates on the left were not able to recover communes lost in the previous elections, such as in Bellerive-sur-Allier , Cosne-d'Allier , Cusset , Gannat , Varennes-sur-Allier and Vendat . The left was consoled with a victory in Commentry . The right easily retained its position in the four largest communes of the department, despite a perilous four-way second round in Montluçon .
