Christian Suronne

Christian Suronne is the incumbent mayor of Val-de-Scie, a commune in Seine-Maritime, Normandy, France. He is newsworthy due to the exceptionally rare occurrence of a perfect tie in the second round of the 2026 municipal elections held on March 22, 2026. Suronne's list received the same number of votes (642) as the opposing list.
