Politics of Normandy

The politics of Normandy regulate the political and governmental administration. The modern region was created on 1 January 2016 by reunification of the separate regions Lower Normandy and Upper Normandy.[1] Rouen is the regional capital, while Caen is the seat of the regional council.

The new region took effect on 1 January 2016, after the regional elections in December 2015.[2]
