Legislative elections concern the whole of France, but take the form of 577 elections in total, in 577 constituencies. These are numbered by department and vary according to population: from a single constituency for the less populated departments such as Creuse, up to 21 constituencies for the much denser Nord department. This map gives access to the list of constituencies for each department.
In Paris and other big cities like Toulouse or Nice, the legislative elections bend to a particular configuration. The largest communes are in fact themselves divided into several constituencies. Many candidates are therefore in the running in each of these cities, even if the voters will ultimately only have about ten ballots in their polling stations. Discover these constituencies and the list of candidates by clicking on the city of your choice below.
