Proposition de loi relative à l'élection au suffrage universel direct du président et des vice-présidents des établissements publics de coopération intercommunale

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi) in the National Assembly, Legislature 15. It concerns how the president and vice-presidents of intercommunal public cooperation bodies (EPCIs) are chosen. As the title states, it proposes election by direct universal suffrage rather than by the elected members of each body's council. Based on metadata only, the full text and its details are not reviewed here. EPCIs are groupings of neighbouring French municipalities that share services such as planning, waste, water and economic development. A change would affect the voters in these areas, the councils that run them, and the local officials who lead them. Any change to how leaders are chosen would also shape local democratic accountability.
