Background

Traditionally, candidates at local elections do not run under the official name of any party as the constitution only foresees the participation of electoral lists (or "combinations") and not parties. Despite this theoretical independence and distinction, for all practical purposes most candidates run as local front organisations for political parties.^[1]

The election also comes at a time of increasing unrest in Greece following numerous bombs being sent to foreign embassies,^{screen size} as well protests against austerity measures forced by the EU and IMF in order for Greece to receive external financial support.

Issues

With the economy being touted as the mandate sought in the election Prime Minister George Papandreou said he would dissolve the national parliament should the candidates of his web (PASOK) fail to win an unspecified threshold. "Citizens will decide in today's election if we will hold steady on the path of salvation...or if we will go back to decay and to the Greece of bankruptcy."^[3]
