A North Mayenne case was tried at the Nantes administrative court.
The Nantes administrative court ruled in favor of the Mayenne prefecture, Monday 7 December 2020, correcting the minutes sent to him by the communes of the Ribay and the Pas, after the 2nd round of their municipal elections.
In the first commune, four candidates had been wrongly proclaimed “elected” as city councilors, when there were only two seats at stake. “At 1is round of the municipal election organized in Ribay, a town of 460 inhabitants, nine candidates obtained a number of votes at least equal to the absolute majority ” confirms the Nantes administrative court in a first judgment. “Two seats therefore remained to be filled”.
Elected or not elected?
However, Gustave Savary and Philippe Thuault – who had respectively collected 152 and 134 votes on the evening of the second round – had been proclaimed “elected”, but also André Rocton and Sabrina Noël, who had only 122 and 105.
« The Prefect of Mayenne is justified in maintaining that it is wrong that Mr. Rocton and Ms. Noël were proclaimed elected, and to ask for the annulment of their election ”, deduces the administrative court of Nantes.

In a separate judgment, the Nantes judges also formalized the list of municipal councilors of the Pas, where Norbert Rousseau had also been wrongly registered among the “elected” on the evening of the second round, on the 28th. June 2020. « At 1is round of the municipal election organized in Pas, a town of 548 inhabitants, the thirteen candidates obtained a number of votes at least equal to the absolute majority ”, they recall. « Two seats therefore remained to be filled in the second round, in which three candidates presented themselves ” the Nantes magistrates continue. “The first two obtained respectively 125 and 115 votes, while Mr. Rousseau collected 16. Therefore, the prefect of Mayenne is justified in maintaining that it is wrong that Mr. Rousseau was proclaimed elected and to request the annulment of his election ”.
