Municipal elections in France
Okay kiddo, so you know how we have elections for our leaders like the President in America? Well, in France they have a similar system!
But instead of just having one big election for the whole country, they have smaller elections for each city and town. These are called municipal elections.
During the municipal elections, people who live in a certain city or town can vote for who they want to be in charge of their local government. This includes things like the mayor, city council members, and other officials who help make decisions about the town.
To vote in the municipal election, you have to be at least 18 years old and a citizen of France. You also have to register to vote in advance, just like we do here in America.
Once the election is over and the votes are counted, the winners take office and get to start working on making decisions and helping the people in their town.
So while it’s similar to the elections we have in America, the municipal elections in France are focused on choosing leaders for individual towns rather than the whole country at once.
