In the communes Bech, Feulen and Winseler, residents can stay home on 8 October, while the rest of the country votes for their new local council.

No polls are to be held in these three communes, as not enough citizens have stood for election. The seats will automatically be occupied by the candidates on the list.

In the commune of Bech, only 8 out of the 9 available seats will be filled. In the northern communes Feulen and Winseler, the 9 seats will be held by the 9 candidates who filed in each commune.
