2022 Saint Martin Territorial Council Election
Territorial Council elections were held in the French overseas collectivity of Saint Martin on 20 March 2022. Results Analysis As expected, the elections were hotly contested, with five of the six lists managing to qualify for the second round. The latter is necessary, as none of the lists having managed to win the absolute majority of the votes cast in the first round. The Rassemblement Saint-Martinois led by Louis Mussington finished first with 16 seats (an increase of 11), ahead of the Union for Democracy list of the outgoing chairman of the council, Daniel Gibbs, which lost 13 seats.

Territorial Council Of Saint-Martin
The Collectivity of Saint Martin was a French commune for many years and formed part of Guadeloupe, which is an overseas ''région'' and ''département'' of France and is therefore in the European Union. In 2003, the population of the French part of the island voted in favour of secession from Guadeloupe in order to form a separate overseas collectivity (COM) of France. On 9 February 2007, the French Parliament passed a bill granting COM status to both the French part of Saint Martin and neighbouring Saint Barthélemy. The new status took effect once the local assembly was elected on 15 February 2007. Saint Martin remains part of the European Union.

The COMs include some former French overseas colonies and other French overseas entities with a particular status, all of which became COMs by constitutional reform on 28 March 2003. The COMs differ from overseas regions and overseas departments, which have the same status as metropolitan France but are located outside Europe. As integral parts of France, overseas collectivities are represented in the National Assembly, Senate and Economic and Social Council. Though some are outside the European Union, all can vote to elect members of the European Parliament (MEPs). (All of France became one multi-member EU constituency in 2019.)
