Pretty much every local election for the mayor seat has always been a comedy. I can still remember when one of my majors has organized a feast where all the population has been invited and she was offering free meals. I mean, it wasn't a charity event made for starving people. She was just offering us free steaks! She really bought many votes with this tactic. I was quite shocked by the positive reaction of my citizens. People is so low when you talk to them about politics.
The candidates for the major seat are always funny, especially when they come from a little town with less then 10k population.
The last one is really impressive. It seems like in dat village they have troubles with some kind of an old god or something. Better call the titans!
As someone from a tiny little town (11k population) our Mayor is voted in by the Town Council. My old city (250k) however it was a public vote. Always professional, all of them actual council officials or member of government.

Even if I would not be happy to let a town council elect my major and I live in a little town with 12k people. As a lawyer I will never get used to your common law and the lack of a written constitution. It seems to work good for you but in Italy it would be a total mess.

But damn, Bulgaria, you really outdid yourself.
Well Bulgaria is really funny :D This is for example the graduation:
Graduation parties are the best. People get humiliated so much. Try to imagine the scenario: stairs, the gift for your graduation located on top of these stairs, covered with tiny little rocks and you have to walk over them on your kneels. I've witnessed these kind of tortures.
