The canton of Beaurepaire-en-Bresse from 2015
In 2015 (March 22 and 29), the departmental councils were elected for the first time using a new electoral process. In advance, the number of cantons was halved, but the candidacies were always made in pairs with a woman and a man. At the same time, the cantons were determined from a demographic point of view, in that the difference in the population figures of the cantons within the department must not exceed 20%. The canton area must be contiguous and municipalities with up to 3,500 inhabitants may not be divided between several cantons.
As part of this restructuring, the seven municipalities of the canton of Beaurepaire-en-Bresse were added to two other cantons. Four municipalities now belong to the canton of Louhans , three to the canton of Pierre-de-Bresse . The canton ceased to exist on March 29, 2015.
