4 issues to keep an eye on before the 1st round of the 2026 municipal elections by Frédéric Dabi
On Sunday March 15, voters will be called to the polls for the first round of the 2026 municipal elections.
To mark the occasion, Frédéric Dabi, Managing Director of Ifop Opinion, deciphers the four major issues at stake in this election:
– Voter turnout
– Nationalization of the ballot
– Second-round configurations
– Municipalities as a possible first act of the 2027 presidential election
Against a backdrop of political recomposition and evolving public expectations, understanding the mechanisms specific to municipal elections is essential to understanding territorial dynamics… and their national repercussions.
This video is part of the special Municipalities 2026 program set up by the Ifop Group to help people understand the results and issues at stake throughout the campaign.
