IntroductionDefinition

In a representative popular assembly accessible to all, any citizen of legal age and holder of his or her civil rights can declare himself or herself a candidate, with complete freedom of means, and in complete independence of partisan spirit or private interest. If elected, the state will finance his or her term of office, and at the end of it, guarantee that he or she will be able to return to work.

To register as a candidate for this assembly, you need to fill in a profile on an institutional website, and choose the list of a political party or the no-label list.

An electoral ballot is used to choose between these lists. Elected representatives are drawn from each list in proportion to the results obtained, so there is no head of list or order of candidacies. (e.g.: list X obtains 20% of the vote, so 20% of the assembly will be made up of candidates drawn from list X).

The drawing of lots will take into account certain criteria present in each profile, such as gender, age, csp, etc., to obtain the best sociological representation of the population.
