Rhône to hold senatorial elections in September 2026

The senatorial elections in the Rhône department are scheduled for September 27, 2026. This indirect election will determine seven senators to serve six-year terms through a proportional representation system.

Ten lists have been submitted for the election, though none are led by women. The voting process will be conducted by a college of electors, including deputies, regional and departmental councilors, metropolitan councilors, and municipal council members, rather than the general public.
