Presentation of the 2021 regional elections
Regional elections are a two-round, multi-member proportional system with a majority bonus. 1910 regional councilors from metropolitan France and overseas, as well as the assemblies of Corsica, Guyana and Martinique, must be elected. In order to respect parity, the lists must include alternately a male candidate and a female candidate.
In order to be elected in the first round, a list must collect at least 50% of the votes cast. If this threshold is not reached, a second round takes place where the lists having obtained at least 10% of the votes cast can be maintained. At the end of the second round, the top-ranked list initially wins a quarter of the seats in the regional council. The other seats are then allocated proportionally to all the lists having exceeded 5% of the votes cast. The premium allocated to the top-ranked list therefore enables it to obtain an absolute majority if it has won more than 33% of the votes cast.
