History[edit]
A new territorial division of Corrèze entered into law in March 2015, defined by a decree of 24 February 2014, pursuant to the laws of 17 May 2013 (Organic Law 2013-402 and Law 2013-403). As of these elections, departmental councillors are elected by mixed binomial majority voting. The voters of each canton elect to the Correze Departmental Council, the new name of the General Council, two members of different sexes, who stand as a pair of candidates.
Departmental councillors are elected for 6 years by the majority vote in two rounds, entry to the second round requiring 12.5% of those registered in the 1st round. In addition, all departmental councillors are renewed. In Corrèze, the number of cantons decreased from 37 to 19.
