For the municipal elections scheduled for March 15 and 22, 2026, voters who find no candidate suitable have the option to cast a blank vote. This involves submitting an empty envelope or one containing a blank ballot. Unlike null votes, which are invalidated, blank votes are counted and reported in election results since a 2014 law. However, they do not influence the final outcome or the determination of expressed votes. While a blank vote signifies participation without endorsement, it does not lead to an election being invalidated or new candidates being presented, a change many citizens advocate for.
