Question juridique clé
Whether Art. 48 KV requires the simultaneous general renewal of all municipal councils in 1974.
Solution extraite
Yes. The four-year term had expired, so the general renewal elections had to be held in 1974 for all municipal councils.
Motifs extraits
Art. 48(1) KV sets a four-year term, and the constitution clearly requires a general renewal for all types of municipal councils, not only those renewed in 1970.
