The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) elects candidates to the French Senate and House of Representatives. The overseas departments follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).

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.

The basic provisions about the electoral regime are embodied in the Constitution, but a separate and specific legislation details all aspects related to the preparation, organization and surveillance of elections, including the legal regime of political parties (Electoral Code). The Electoral Code entitles the electoral management body (JCE) to dictate all the measures it deems adequate for the smooth development of the electoral processes.

The French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion) follow the same rules as the metropole regarding the organization of the elections. They do however enjoy certain specificities concerning electoral expenditure : certain travel expenses of the candidates are not taken into account in the ceiling of candidates' election expenses (article L.52-12 of the electoral code). Besides, the French Parliament is discussing a bill which would allow elections to be held on Saturday in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Guiana (because of the time lag, people from these departments knew the results of the elections in the metropole before they voted).
