Electoral law quota details
Burundi
The municipal council must be composed of at least 30% women.
For three consecutive candidates, at least one must be a woman.
In the event that the composition of a municipal council does not reflect the gender diversity of the electorate, the Independent National Electoral Commission corrects the imbalances according to the method of the strongest remainder. The Independent National Electoral Commission may order the co-optation to the council of persons from an under-represented gender, provided that the persons thus co-opted do not constitute no more than one fifth of the members of the council.
In the event of a vacancy, the municipal councilor is replaced in priority by the candidate of the same ethnicity and gender who is in an adequate position on the list.
The municipal council board must have at least 30% women. In addition, at least 1/3 of the municipal administrators must be women nationwide.
