2010 Kosovan local elections explained

The Republic of Kosovo oversaw local elections in three municipalities in 2010.

Istog held a special mayoral by-election over two rounds on 11 April and 9 May 2010. The election was necessitated by the death of incumbent mayor Fadil Ferati of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) on 30 January.[1]

A mayoral election and assembly election took place in the predominantly Serb municipality of Parteš on 20 June 2010 (with a second round of voting for mayor on 18 July), following the formal establishment of the municipality.[2] [3]

Rahovec held a special mayoral by-election over two rounds on 21 November and 19 December 2010. The election took place after the resignation of Qazim Qeska of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). (Qeska attempted to return to the position after submitting his resignation, but he was not permitted to do so.)[4] [5]
