village elections
Small-town ballot choices
Village elections are local governmental votes held to choose officials for a village—typically a mayor, trustees, or council members.
In the United States, these occur in incorporated villages as distinct municipal entities.
The term also refers to grassroots elections in rural China, where villagers vote for local committee leaders—a notable experiment in limited democracy within an authoritarian system.
