Distinctive compared with what? Here are some hints about the French presidential election:

The French president is voted into office by universal, direct vote.

The candidate has to be a French national, aged at least 18. He can be elected by getting the absolute majority of the votes on the first round (that never happened), or on a second round where only the two candidates having garnered the most votes can stand.

The vote is universal: you can vote regardless of gender, occupation, social status, etc..., provided you are aged at least 18.

The vote is equal: each voter can cast one ballot;

The vote is personal and secret.

The vote is direct: you vote for the president himself, not for representatives who will pick the candidate for you.
