Английская Википедия:2014 Greek local elections
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox election
Local elections were held in Greece on 18 May 2014 (first round) and 25 May 2014 (second round).[1][2] Voters elected representatives to the country's local authorities, comprising 13 regions and 325 municipalities.
Background
Traditionally, candidates at local elections do not run under the official name of any party as the constitution only foresees the participation of electoral lists (or "combinations") and not parties. Despite this theoretical independence and distinction, for all practical purposes most candidates run as local front organisations for political parties.[3]
Issues
Greece is still facing a long-term government-debt crisis, which may affect the elections.

In the municipalities, as well as the regions, any candidate can participate in the first round. If the leading candidate does not have an absolute majority (50%+) of the votes, then a second round is held between the two leading candidates in the first round.

Nationwide percentage results
Reaction
The elections were regarded as a victory for SYRIZA,[6][7][8][9] which was not expected to perform well due to its weak local organization.[10] Candidates backed by the ruling New Democracy fared poorly, particularly Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' hand-picked candidates.[8] In Athens, New Democracy failed to make the runoff for the first time since 1975.[6][9]
In response the results, PM Samaras said "Greece must show it has the stability that it deserves" in the second round and European election scheduled to take place next week.[6] Opposition leader Alexis Tsipras said it was a "historic day", and that next Sunday would be "the first day of a new era."[6][7]
