Share of women among local elected officials in France 2024, by type of mandate

Municipal elections take place every six years in France. The last ones were held from March to June 2020. Yet, it appears that parity is far from being achieved as regards the presidency of councils, whether they are regional, departmental, community, or municipal. It is also quite striking to note that in the case of departmental councils, although parity was achieved as regards the total number of advisors, only 21 percent of the presidents in 2024 were women.

法国的市政选举每六年举行一次。上一次选举于2020年3月至6月举行。然而，在各级议会（无论是地区议会、部门议会、社区议会还是市政议会）的主席职位方面，性别平等的目标似乎还远未实现。值得注意的是，在部门议会的情况下，尽管在顾问总数上实现了性别平等，但在2024年，仅有21%的主席为女性。
