General adviser
In France, a general adviser is a person elected by the universal direct suffrage, by all the voters of a canton, within the framework of a majority Uninominal system to two turns.
The whole of the general advisers elected in a department form the general advice, body of administration of the department, whose executive is entrusted to the president of the general advice assisted of the standing committee.
In each department, the general advisers are renewed per half every three years, the renewal of one of the series having from now on to coincide with the municipal elections, while that of the other series must be held at the same time as the regional elections.
The general adviser is elected for six years but, in the case of a by-election (following a death, of a resignation, etc), the mandate of the new elected official runs only until the normal date of end of mandate of its predecessor, so as not to modify the calendar of renewal of the general advice.
Although the role of an general adviser is theoretically dedicated to the management of a department as a whole, in the facts, but in a not written way, the general adviser is often used as bond privileged between the departmental administration and the voters of his canton, a little the made-to-order of a deputy who serves of “interface” between the national representation (and ministries) and managed his district.
