A regional council (Arabic: مجلس جهوي, French: conseil régional) is the elected assembly of a region of Mauritania.

Electoral system

After 2023

On 26 September 2022 all Mauritanian political parties reached an agreement sponsored by the Ministry of Interior and Decentralisation to reform the election system ahead of the upcoming 2023 elections after weeks of meetings between all parties.[1]

Starting from the 2023 elections, regional councils will be elected in a single round using proportional representation through the largest remainder method, with no threshold being applied. The head of the list that gets the most votes will automatically become president of the regional council.[1][2]
