Mayotte

Legislative Framework

LF01 What is the status of the electoral law governing national elections?
a. Part of Constitution
b. Separate legislation

Comments: The French Overseas Collectivities are Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, New caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis-et-Futuna and Mayotte. These overseas territories enjoy special dispositions in the Electoral code. This is partly explained by the fact that; firstly, they have a different administrative system, secondly, they do not have the same currency (which implies specific dispositions concerning the ceiling of candidates' election expenses) and thirdly each collectivity has to elect its own assembly(ies) (Congress and provincial assemblies in New caledonia; Assembly of French Polynesia, territorial assembly of Wallis-et-Futuna). However, the information in this section applies to the presidential elections and elections to the national assembly in France.
