Read: the 24 candidates present in the second round in Franche-Comté
Deputies are elected by direct universal suffrage in a two-round majority uninominal ballot. To be elected in the first round, a candidate must obtain an absolute majority of the votes cast, if they represent at least 25% of the voters registered on the electoral lists. If this is not the case, there is a second round with the candidates who have obtained the votes of at least 12.5% of those registered. In Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, no deputy was elected in the first round.
You do not intend to vote for a candidate, but still want to vote? To vote blank, you will either have to leave your envelope empty or slip a blank white ballot into it. The blank ballot is not provided. It is even forbidden to make them available to voters.
A vote will be considered invalid if you deposit in the ballot box a ballot without an envelope, if your ballot is not regulatory, annotated or torn.
During the counting, the blank ballots are counted separately from the invalid votes. They appear in the minutes of the results drawn up by the officials of your polling station. An obligation since the law of February 21, 2014 to recognize the white vote.
At the time of the counting, it should be noted that the calculation of the percentages of votes acquired by each candidate does not take into account the blank vote like the null vote.
Who will have the majority in the National Assembly? How many seats for the majority of Emmanuel Macron, the Nupes alliance of the left, or the National Rally. The calculation is not proportional to the results of the second round as france info explains to us.
The legislative voting system creates a distortion between the votes cast at the national level and the actual composition of the hemicycle at the Palais-Bourbon since there is no proportionality between the score of a party or a bloc policy and its number of seats in the Assembly. Unlike the European elections, where the parties are allocated a number of seats equivalent to the national score they have achieved, under a proportional voting system.
Even if the Nupes came out on top of the votes cast throughout the country, it would not necessarily obtain a majority in the Assembly.
Even if the epidemic is still there, and the number of cases has more than doubled in a week in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, no restrictions are in force in the polling stations. The health pass is not required. Hydroalcoholic gel must be made available to voters. It is recommended that fragile people wear a mask, and respect barrier gestures.
From 8 p.m., France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté will give you the results on the air and on the website.
