Just a little more precision

 For communes with a population of  less than 1,000 you can choose the people you want to vote for from the list and cross out the ones you don’t want or you can vote for the whole list. If there is more than one list you can vote for people from different lists but you shouldn’t vote for more people than there will be in the mairie/ that are on one list.

For communes of more than 1,000 people you have to choose one list and can not cross any names out. If you do cross out  the name of someone on the list your vote won’t count.

For communes of more than 1,000 people the list that wins the most votes will have  50% of seats/places. The rest will depend on what percentage of the population voted for them.
Eg Saint Antonin has 19 seats/places and so if the winning list has 55% of the votes they will have 10 seats plus 55% of the rest (9 places)  which means they will have 15 and so the other list will have 4 places/seats.
