Hence democratic as well as administrative reforms are liable to have significant repercussions. Secondly, the German local government level has, in fact, experienced remarkable reform waves both in its political as well as in its administrative institutions and structures.KeywordsLocal GovernmentVoter TurnoutLocal CouncilDirect ElectionAdministrative ReformThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
