Iparralde looks for a new local landscape
One of the new features of the French local elections to be held on 23 and 30 March, the first during President François Hollande's term of office, will be that in towns with over a thousand inhabitants - there are 41 of them in Iparralde - there will be closed lists from which the councillors will be elected in proportion to the number of votes for each list. If no list obtains a majority in the first round, the lists which obtain less than 10% will not be able to stand in the second round. On the Tuesday following the first electoral Sunday, the lists must be submitted again in the prefecture and the competing lists may include candidates from the other lists which, owing to circumstances beyond their control or by preference, decide not to stand again.
