Le Conseil constitutionnel a \u00e9t\u00e9 saisi le 22 juillet 2026 par le Conseil d\u2019\u00c9tat, via une d\u00e9cision du 16 juillet 2026 (n\u00b0 515244), d\u2019une question prioritaire de constitutionnalit\u00e9 (QPC n\u00b0 2026-1226) concernant le 5\u00b0 de l\u2019article L. 231 du code \u00e9lectoral, dans sa r\u00e9daction issue de la loi du 11 ao\u00fbt 2025 de programmation pour la refondation de Mayotte. La QPC a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e pour M. St\u00e9phane G. par son avocate, Me Caroline Tissier-Lotz, du barreau d\u2019Orl\u00e9ans.<\/p>\n
La disposition contest\u00e9e pr\u00e9voit que les fonctionnaires des corps actifs de la police nationale ne peuvent \u00eatre \u00e9lus conseillers municipaux dans les communes situ\u00e9es dans le ressort o\u00f9 ils exercent ou ont exerc\u00e9 leurs fonctions depuis moins de six mois. Le requ\u00e9rant critique cette in\u00e9ligibilit\u00e9 en ce qu\u2019elle s\u2019applique de mani\u00e8re indiff\u00e9renci\u00e9e \u00e0 tous les fonctionnaires des corps actifs de la police nationale, quels que soient leur grade et leurs responsabilit\u00e9s. Il met \u00e9galement en cause l\u2019ampleur du ressort territorial pris en compte, jug\u00e9 trop large, dans la mesure o\u00f9 il ne tiendrait pas compte du lieu concret d\u2019exercice des missions des int\u00e9ress\u00e9s ni de la taille des communes.<\/p>\n
La proc\u00e9dure s\u2019est d\u00e9roul\u00e9e conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l\u2019ordonnance organique du 7 novembre 1958 et au r\u00e8glement du 4 f\u00e9vrier 2010 sur les QPC. Le Conseil constitutionnel a pris en compte les observations \u00e9crites du Premier ministre (enregistr\u00e9es le 27 juillet 2026), celles du requ\u00e9rant d\u00e9pos\u00e9es les 3 et 11 ao\u00fbt 2026, ainsi que les autres pi\u00e8ces du dossier. M. Fran\u00e7ois Pillet s\u2019est abstenu de si\u00e9ger. \u00c0 l\u2019audience publique du 6 octobre 2026, le Conseil a entendu Me Tissier-Lotz pour le requ\u00e9rant et M. Thibault Cayssials, repr\u00e9sentant le Premier ministre, avant d\u2019entendre le rapporteur.<\/p>\n
Le Conseil constitutionnel pr\u00e9cise qu\u2019il est saisi du 5\u00b0 de l\u2019article L. 231 du code \u00e9lectoral dans sa version issue de la loi du 11 ao\u00fbt 2025. La question porte sur la conformit\u00e9 de cette in\u00e9ligibilit\u00e9 aux droits et libert\u00e9s garantis par la Constitution. Les enjeux identifi\u00e9s concernent la conciliation entre l\u2019exercice d\u2019un mandat \u00e9lectif local et certaines fonctions publiques de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure, ainsi que le p\u00e9rim\u00e8tre territorial et la dur\u00e9e des incompatibilit\u00e9s \u00e9lectorales applicables aux agents concern\u00e9s. Aucun \u00e9l\u00e9ment suppl\u00e9mentaire sur la d\u00e9cision au fond n\u2019est encore indiqu\u00e9 \u00e0 ce stade du texte.\u00a0(contenu r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par l’IA)\u200bLire la Suite<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le Conseil constitutionnel a \u00e9t\u00e9 saisi le 22 juillet 2026 par le Conseil d\u2019\u00c9tat, via une d\u00e9cision du 16 juillet 2026 (n\u00b0 515244), d\u2019une question prioritaire de constitutionnalit\u00e9 (QPC n\u00b0 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[267,227],"class_list":["post-21251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-administration","tag-conseil-constitutionnel","tag-ia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilles-affaires-sociales.fr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
