French Elections

I forgot to mention one thing from my weekend trip to France. On Sunday it was election day for a number of regional offices. I’m not sure why, but I was surprised by the fact that they have their elections on a Sunday. Perhaps it’s just because I’m used to voting on a weekday in the U.S.

The turn out for the election was a record low according to the news channel that I was watching. I guess Americans aren’t the only ones who experiencing voter apathy these days.
