Imposer la parité entre candidat et remplaçant dans les candidatures aux élections législatives

This French bill, proposed as an ordinary law (proposition de loi ordinaire) in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature, would require that a candidate and their designated substitute (remplaçant) for legislative elections be of the same gender. Substitutes take over a seat when an elected deputy leaves office, so the rule would address how gender balance is maintained after an election. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill. The rule would primarily affect political parties and candidates standing in French legislative elections, as well as the voters they represent. Because it concerns the pairing of candidates with their substitutes, it could influence how parties select people for these positions. The exact requirements and enforcement would be set out in the bill text.
