Question 20 — elections and referendums

Summary

Mr. Yannick Chenevard draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the question of the date of the next municipal elections of 2026. Indeed, due to the health crisis linked to covid-19, decree no. 2020-571 of May 14, 2020 taken in application of law no. 2020-290 of March 23, 2020 had set May 18, 2020 the date of entry into office of the municipal and community councils of the communes whose municipal council had been entirely renewed from the first round of the municipal elections of March 15, 2020. In addition, for the renewal of the other municipal and community councils, the date of the second round was set by decree no. 2020-642 at June 28, 2020. The installation of the latter took place at the beginning of July. Article L. 227 of the electoral code provides that “municipal councilors are elected for six years”. This same article has that “even if they have been elected in the meantime, they are completely renewed in March”. However, we could face a situation where a very large part of the country's municipal councilors would have been elected for less than six years if the 2026 municipal elections were called in March. Also, he questions him to find out if the municipal elections of 2026 will take place in March, if they will be differentiated according to the installation dates of municipal councils in 2020 or if they will take place for all municipalities in June 2026.
