Municipal elections take place every six years in France. The last ones were held from March to June 2020. Yet, it appears that parity is far from being achieved as regards the presidency of councils, whether they are regional, departmental, community or municipal. It is also quite striking to note that in the case of departmental councils, although parity was achieved as regards to the total number of advisors, only 20 percent of the presidents in 2023 were women.
