V mnogih krajih so volivci na lističih lahko obkrožili le eno številko pred imenom kandidata in tam izbira ni bila težka.
In many places, voters could circle only one number in front of the candidate's name on the ballot and there were no difficult choices.
Drugje je bilo bolj napeto, saj krajani do poznih večernih ur niso vedeli, kdo bo odločal o prihodnosti kraja.
It was somewhat more tense elsewhere, since people did not know until late into the evening what would decide the future of the place.
Letošnje lokalne volitve so pustile pečat. Na volišča se je namreč odpravilo več ljudi kot pred štirimi leti in več kot na državnozborskih volitvah.
This year's local elections made an impressions, with more voters than four years ago, and more than in the National Assembly elections [earlier this year].
To je spodbudna novica, saj o prihodnosti odločajo tisti, ki gredo voliti, in ne tisti, ki ostanejo doma.
This is encouraging news, because the future is decided by those who go to vote, and not those who stay at home.
