French departmental elections, 2015

Departmental elections to elect the membership of the departmental councils of France's 100 departments was held on 22 and 29 March 2015.

In 2015, the term departmental elections replaced cantonal elections, and the term departmental council replaced the general council.

Like the previous cantonal elections, the departmental elections used a two-round system similar to that employed in the country's legislative elections. One change was that the election adopted paired voting.

Neither the city of Paris, the Lyon métropole, nor Martinique and French Guiana took part in this election due to their particular statuses.
