Fun fact: In the EU, anyone who's an EU citizen can vote in local elections wherever they live, even if they aren't a citizen of the country they're in.

Local elections are quite different from state/province and national elections.

... and to expand on that point a little, local elections can do pretty much whatever they want, including electing a dog as mayor: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/08/13/mi...
