TheTerritorial Council (French:Conseil territorial) is the legislative branch of the government of theFrench territory ofSaint Pierre and Miquelon. It was previously known as theGeneral Council (French:Conseil général), but the name was changed to Territorial Council by a new French law on 22 February 2007, a law which also increased the council's powers. The council has 19 members, elected to five year terms. The last election was on20 March 2022.
The Territorial Council building is a two-story structure located at Church Square inSaint-Pierre.
The Territorial Council has 19 members, elected for a six-year term in single-seatconstituencies. Elections are held in two stages. The first stage is open to all candidates and the majority of seats can only be given out if a political group achieves true majority at the ballot box. If no majority is attained on this ballot, a second ballot is held the following Sunday. On the second ballot, only a relative majority is necessary to obtain 11 out of the 19 seats. The rest of the seats (four reserved for Miquelon) are distributed through a system of proportional representation.
The president of the Territorial Council has held executive power since March 2, 1982. The current president is Stéphane Artano.
