Cantonal elections to elect half the membership of the general councils of France's 100 departments were held on 20 and 27 March 2011. ==Electoral system== The cantonal elections use a two-round system similar to that employed in the country's legislative elections. *Councillors are elected from single-member constituencies (the cantons). *A candidate securing the votes of at least 25% of the canton's registered voters and more than 50% of the total number of votes actually cast in the first round of voting is thereby elected. If no candidate satisfies these conditions, then a second round of voting is held one week later. *Entitled to present themselves in the second round are the two candidates who received the highest number of votes in the first round, plus any other candidate or candidates who received the votes of at least 12.5% of those registered to vote in the canton. This threshold used to be set at 10% and was modified for this election. *In the second round, the candidate receiving the highest number of votes is elected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French cantonal elections, 2011」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
