Uruguay held departmental and local government elections on September 27, 2020, to elect the intendente of the 19 departments that are the administrative divisions of Uruguay, as well as 31 councilors; and a mayor and four councilors for each of the municipalities. Across the country, 19 intendants, 589 ediles, 125 mayors and 500 councilors were elected. This was the second time that both intendentes and alcaldes were elected simultaneously.
Initially, the election was to be held on May 10, however, in March 2020 all the political parties that made up the General Assembly, the Electoral Court and Vice President Beatriz Argimón, in a joint decision, agreed to postpone for the only time for Sunday, September 27, 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic in the country.
Election by department In the municipal elections of May 2015, the Partido Nacional had won 12 departments, the Partido Colorado 1 departments, and the Frente Amplio 6 departments.
