Departmental elections to elect the membership of the departmental councils of France's 100 departments was held on 22 and 29 March 2015. In 2015, the term ''departmental elections'' replaced ''cantonal elections'', and the term ''departmental council'' replaced the ''general council''. ==Electoral system== Like the previous cantonal elections, the departmental elections used a two-round system similar to that employed in the country's legislative elections. One change was that the election adopted binomial voting. *2 councillors (a man and a woman) were elected from single-member constituencies (the new cantons adopted in 2014). *A binomial 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 would be thereby elected. If no candidate satisfies these conditions, then a second round of voting would be held one week later. *Entitled to present themselves in the second round were the two binomials 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. *In the second round, the binomial receiving the highest number of votes would be elected. Neither the city of Paris, the Lyon métropole, nor Martinique and French Guiana took part in this election due to their particular statuses. 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 departmental elections, 2015」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
