My question is as in the title: during the Vichy regime in France, from July 1940 to, say, June 1944 were there any official election of any kind - for mayors, lawmakers, etc? If none, do you have a reference? If yes, what were they for, how were they organized, and who got elected?
(I was not able to find any information on this question on google)

As per the decree law of 16 November 1940, elections were only allowed for the "smallest communes".
This law was published in the Journal Officiel 12 December 12, 1940 and
...provided for the abolition of elected councils in communes and
municipalities of 2,000 population and over....It is now provided that
the members of councils in towns with a population from 2,000 to
10,000 shall be appointed by prefects, while in cities of over 10,000
the councillors shall be named by the minister of the interior.
Communities of under 2,000 inhabitants may continue to elect their
councils as long as these bodies refrain from participating in
"politics."
