Rendre plus démocratique le système de parrainage des candidats à l’élection présidentielle

This is a private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 15th legislature. It concerns the 'parrainages', the signatures that prospective candidates must gather from elected officials to qualify for the presidential election. The bill's stated aim, as indicated by its title, is to make this requirement more democratic. The metadata does not show the specific changes proposed. The rules would mainly affect prospective presidential candidates, especially those without an established party or large group of elected backers, and the elected officials who give their sponsorship. Citizens who vote in presidential elections could also be affected by changes to who can stand. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
