Participative democracy
Since the implementation of the organic law of February 21, 2007, the Collectivité of Saint-Martin has had neighborhood councils, organizations representative of local democracy. There are 6 neighborhood councils on the island whose members were officially installed on March 12, 2024 for the duration of the 2022-2027 electoral mandate. They are places for discussion and reflection on life in the neighborhood and the means implemented to improve the living environment of residents. They are a source of proposals for the territorial council.
