← 2018 13 May 2023[a]

235 local councils[b]

Local elections were held in Mauritania on 13 May 2023, alongside parliamentary and regional elections.[2][3]

The elections were the first local elections held after the first peaceful transition of power in the country as a result of the 2019 presidential elections, in which Mohamed Ould Ghazouani was elected president after incumbent Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz was not able to run due to the two-term constitutional limit.
