Marseille municipal election, 2008
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Municipal and mayoral elections will be held in Marseille in March 2008, at the same time as other municipal elections. The current Mayor of the city, Jean-Claude Gaudin (UMP) will face Socialist candidate and Senator Jean-Noël Guérini. While polls in January and February indicated that Gaudin was safe, newer polls show the race tied and the 3rd sector of the city, a marginal UMP area, will likely decide the election. Elections in Marseille depend not on the number of votes polled but the number of sectors won (there are 8 sectors). The same system applies in Lyon and Paris.
