Participles as Adjectives and their Position

Can anyone help me explain why the position of adjective is different in these two examples:

1. unelected people's council (adjective is before the noun)
2. elections scheduled for next month (adjective is after the noun)
  

Top answer

These examples maybe will help - 1. We have a scheduled election next month 2. We have an election scheduled next month 1.

  • These examples maybe will help - 1.
  • We have a scheduled election next month 2.
  • We have an election scheduled next month 1.
  • means "We have a planned election; it will be next month" = "We have next month a planned election" 2.
  • means "We have an election.
