How are laws made in France?

Answer 1

The laws in France are made by the parliament. The parliament serves as the legislative branch of the French government and this is where laws are made.

Answer 2

The Government, or any member of parliament, can propose a new law. It is debated and amended successively in both chambers of parliament (the Assemblée Nationale and the Sénat) after the work of a commission which discuss the wording of the text and the proposed amendments. A joint commission is established if there are persistent differences between the opinion of the two chambers. After the law is voted in the same terms by both houses, the text is brought before the French president who has to promulgate it (sign it to give it an official character). The law is published in the official gazette ("le journal officiel") and has full force the day afterwards.

Answer 3

That depends on the type of the election. The basis is that you must be at least 18 and a French citizen to vote. Most elections are held by direct vote. The vote is secret and takes place in local town halls and schools, surveyed by volunteers.

Local councils, members of the Assemblée Nationale (the first one of the chambers of Parliament) and the president are directly elected though a two-turn vote process (except if they win more than half of the votes in the first round). The process is the same for lists (local councils) or individuals (president, MPs).

Indirect elections are: Mayors who are elected by members of the local council; Senators (representatives of the 2nd chamber of parliament), elected by 'great electors', who are people themselves elected (town mayors, their deputies, etc...).
