Vanadzor

Municipal council (proportional; mayor elected by council)

Next: Date pending. Window: 8 September 2026 to 8 March 2028. Checked 11 September 2026.

PARTIAL: 1 of three cycles recorded

2026 cohort. Exact community polling day remains to be confirmed. The public elects the council; there is no separate direct mayoral ballot. Municipal mergers and the switch from majoritarian to proportional voting prevent automatic comparisons with predecessor towns. September 2026 reports of a proposed delay require enacted-law verification; no postponement is assumed. A further merger proposal requires monitoring before the ballot roster is final.
