The essential
At 5 p.m., the participation rate was 23.85% in the Hauts-de-Seine, against 34.82% for the departmental only in 2015.
The turnout at 12 noon is 9.1% according to the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture, a sharp drop compared to the first round of the 2015 elections. That year, the turnout for the departmental only was 12.43 % at the same time.
The 978,827 voters of Hauts-de-Seine are called to vote this Sunday from 8 am to 8 pm for the renewal of the 46 departmental councilors of the territory.
Or 23 pairs for as many cantons.
For this first round, 126 pairs are candidates.
Among them, thirteen mayors out of the 36 in the department.
The law on the non-accumulation of mandates nevertheless allows them to combine these two elective functions.
The departmental majority is currently strongly dominated by the right and the center (LR-UDI-MoDem), which hold 38 of the 46 seats.
The opposition is made up of six elected PCF or related parties and two elected PS.
A balance that should not be changed at the end of the ballot, even if two cantons are likely to switch, Colombes 1 on the left and Montrouge on the right.
In a still fragile health context, a strong abstention is to be feared.
During the first round of the last departmental elections, in 2015, the abstention was 53.9%.
Participation will be an essential condition for the candidates who hope to be elected this Sunday evening.
Because it is not enough to garner more than 50% of the votes cast, it is also necessary to total more than 25% of those registered.
For the second round, only the two pairs who came out on top are qualified.

The departmental right wants to recover the only socialist canton of Hauts-de-Seine, made up of the communes of Montrouge and Malakoff.
