2021 Somaliland municipal elections

Mayoral and local district council elections are scheduled to occur in Somaliland on 31 May 2021,[1] after multiple delays.[2][3][4] On 12 July 2020, Somaliland's major political parties reached a landmark agreement to ensure timely elections and to advance preparations for the elections.[4] Negotiations between the parties and the National Electoral Commission settled on the earliest possible date by which the latter believed it would have sufficient time to prepare for the polls.[5][6]
