November

November sees significant electoral activity across multiple countries. In the United States, the focus is on the midterm elections, with Donald Trump issuing a decree to tighten mail-in voting rules. These elections are crucial for determining the balance of power in Congress. In France, the Association of Mayors of France (AMF) will undergo leadership renewal in November following municipal elections, potentially leading to changes in the association's direction and leadership. David Lisnard's presidency is being challenged. Taiwan is also holding local elections, known as the "nine-in-one" elections, in November. These elections are seen as a crucial midterm contest and a potential indicator for the 2028 leadership race, with opposition parties joining forces to challenge the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). These elections are significant as they shape local governance and provide insights into future political alliances and strategies.
