Today will be a busy day for most because not only are the finals in Eurovision tonight, but it is also voting day in the local elections all around the country.
It looks like the biggest fight is going to be in Reykjavik. In the last Gallup poll the current majority in the city has fallen. The Social Democratic Alliance (Samfylking) has been leading the majority with the mayor Dagur B. Eggertsson, with the Pirate Party (Píratar), The Reform Party (Viðreisn), The Left Green Movement (Vinstri grænir).
