- cThe mayors of each departmentLes maires de chaque département

Why?
Deputies are elected directly by the citizens registered on the electoral rolls, in the legislative elections. Each deputy is elected in a constituency (circonscription), but votes on laws in the name of the whole nation. Senators, on the other hand, are elected indirectly, by an electoral college (grands électeurs).
