Municipal elections in France

Municipal elections in France allow the people to elect members of the City Council in each commune. These are called conseillers municipaux (city councilors). They elect the mayor, who chairs the city council, as well as Deputies to the Mayor. The term of office of councilors, the mayor and his deputies is, in principle, six years.[1]

As of 8 October 2022, the most recent elections were held on 15 March and 28 June 2020.

The electors of the Senate are 95% determined by the municipal elections.
