I’ve been looking for the party affiliations of various mayors, and keep coming across “nonpartisan” mayoral races. What’s up with that?

Don’t ask me. All municipal politics are nonpartisan in Canada, so I find the American system weird.

The number of uncontested races is rather shocking.

In Oz, even the most obscure election has half a dozen candidates for every seat. There are always local independents, and the only time the major parties fail to contest a seat is when they are leaving it strategically clear for a coalition partner.
