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.

Traditionally, the Secretary General is not a national of any of the P5 nations, must speak English and French, and the candidacies tend to rotate between the regional blocs.
French presidents are elected for five-year terms.

In yesterday's French presidential elections the Daily Mail advised France to vote for the openly racist National Front, so I am not sure this question should be in the past tense.
