The municipality of Mionnay is holding elections on Friday, November 20, 2026, to renew its Youth Municipal Council (CMJ) and establish a Children's Municipal Council (CME), offering a new platform for young residents to voice their ideas.

After 18 years, the Mionnay Youth Municipal Council (CMJ) is being renewed with a significant innovation: the creation of two separate councils to better represent the young people of Mionnay. The Children's Municipal Council (CME) will cater to children in grades 3 through 5 (CE2 to CM2), while the Youth Municipal Council (CMJ) will be for middle and high school students (collégiens and lycéens).
The objective of these new bodies is to enable every young person to express themselves, propose ideas, and get involved in their community through age-appropriate projects. This initiative aims to foster civic engagement from an early age.
The elections will take place on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM, in the town hall's Council Room. Following the vote, an inauguration ceremony for the newly elected members of the CME and CMJ will be held in the same room starting at 6:30 PM.
Young people interested in their village's life and wishing to run as candidates can download the application form from the town hall's website. This form must be returned by November 14, 2026, either in person at the town hall or via email to m.fayot@mionnay.fr, accompanied by a personalized statement presenting the candidate and one or two ideas for the commune.
