Proposition de loi visant à permettre l'élection du maire d'une commune nouvelle en cas de conseil municipal incomplet

This is a French bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) introduced in the National Assembly during the 17th legislature. It aims to allow the election of the mayor of a commune nouvelle, a merged municipality, even when its municipal council is not fully filled. Such incomplete councils can arise when seats remain vacant after elections, which can block the normal process of choosing a mayor. The change would mainly affect newly merged French communes and their residents, as well as local councillors and the prefects who oversee municipal elections. Based on the title alone, it would clarify the rules for installing a mayor in these situations. Details would depend on the full text, which is not reviewed here.
