The French government prepared a bill to celebrate the municipal elections on September 27 and October 4 that they had to be postponed due to the coronavirus crisis after a controversial first round on March 15, on the eve of the beginning of isolation in the country.

Government sources cited by the station France Info confirmed this Sunday what he previously revealed Le Journal du Dimanche: the text implies give up the vote on June 21 as originally planned, and without waiting for the opinion of a scientific council, to be delivered on May 23.

As it is more likely that the scientific council will not approve the elections in June and there are also a series of legal obstacles, the Executive has drawn up a new scenario in its legislative project, which should be submitted to the Council of State before its parliamentary process begins.

In the 30,143 municipalities in which the election was decided in the first round on March 15, the mayors and councilors should be installed in their posts between June 2 and 7.

For the remaining 4,779 -among which are the vast majority of cities-, we will have to wait for autumn.
