FRENCH MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS 2020

French voters head to the polls on March 15 and 22 to elect some 35,000 mayors and more than ten times as many councilors. Just over 500,000 council seats are up for grabs in the country’s 34,970 municipalities. All mayoral candidates are required to present gender-balanced “lists”, or tickets, for their council. The seats are allocated on a proportional basis, with a “majority bonus” for towns of more than 1,000 inhabitants. If a single ticket wins more than 50% of votes in the first round, there is no need for a run-off.

The state of alert in Spain allows the government to take wide-ranging measures for up to 15 days, including

BANNING TRAVEL FROM EUROPE: A DISTRACTION

There is no  strong evidence that travel bans work to stop the spread of the disease. Instead, travel restrictions can cause more harm than good by hindering info-sharing, medical supply chains and harming economies. These types of measures have been shown to be ineffective at halting the spread of viruses. At best, travel restrictions, and even airport screenings, delay pathogens from moving — but they don’t impact the number of people who eventually get sick. Rather, they make it harder for international aid and experts to reach communities affected by disease.
