SAN IGNACIO/SANTA ELENA — Municipal council
Three city/town cycles include mayoral votes, councillor marks and elected flags. San Lazaro has a confirmed single-member village vacancy poll on 4 October 2026, with 2019/2022/2025 member-cohort context retained separately from a comparable single-seat series. The 2022 cohort was uncontested. Council marks are not voter shares. Minor affiliations, other intervening events, current control and the 2027 municipal call remain to be verified. The ordinary village cycle is expected in May–July 2028, outside the window, from the statutory three-year term; this is not a formal call.
