state the election process of the national assembly in france
Answers
Answer:
The members (Deputies) of the Assembly are directly elected by the people. All French citizens, men and women who are 18 years or above of age have the right to vote. In other words, the principle of Universal Adult Franchise operates in France. In the elections, postal voting and voting by proxy are permitted. There are above 40 million voters in France. All those French voters who are above the age of 21 are eligible for the membership of the National Assembly. Government servants, Army personnel and employees of the nationalized industries are, however, not eligible to contest elections. The membership of the Parliament is incompatible with the membership of the Government. 2. Election System: For elections to this House, France is divided into single member constituencies. The system of second ballot is in operation. For winning an election, a candidate is required to secure an absolute majority of the valid votes polled.
