An image showing a news report in the French newspaper Le Parisien, referencing the French municipal elections: "In the Aude region, a village had a perfect tie in both rounds of municipal elections. The voters of Seignalens, in the Aude, are decidedly very undecided: they were unable to decide between the two competing lists in the municipal election of this tiny village, which has only 33 voters, in either the first or second round. The lists of Claudine Cavicchiolo and Julia Thompson, after each receiving 15 votes on March 15, both gained one more on Sunday, leading to the same status quo. In the event of a tie in the second round, article L262 of the electoral code provides that the victory is awarded "to the list whose candidates have the highest average age", in this case that of Claudine Cavicchiolo."

Crazy #election outcome in Seignalens, #France, a mountain town with 33 voters
Le Parisien reports the first round of #MunicipalElections was a 15-15 tie for each list
Now it's Round Two, and we get a 16-16 tie
Under French law, the winning candidate list is the one with the oldest average age
