Legislative elections are of a very unique nature: in fact, they consist of 577 different ballots organized independently in 577 constituencies. Polling institutes do not lend themselves to the exercise of carrying out an opinion poll in each constituency. On the other hand, the pollsters always carry out for the legislative studies of voting intentions by political formation at the national level, for the first and the second round. Projections are also made to try to determine the number of seats that could go to each political party after the election, but sometimes with very wide ranges. Discover below our compilation of all the polls carried out before these 2022 legislative elections.
What is the result of the last legislative elections?
The results of the previous legislative elections had allowed Emmanuel Macron to govern with an absolute majority, since 350 seats out of 577 had been allocated, in 2017, to the parties La République en Marche and the MoDem. The Les Républicains party then became the leading opposition party, with 112 seats. The Socialist Party recorded a very severe defeat, with the election of only 30 parliamentarians at the Palais Bourbon. La France Insoumise had managed to form a parliamentary group, with 17 elected members, the National Rally had brought 8 elected members into the National Assembly. In five years, these figures have evolved over resignations, changes of groups and partial legislative. Here is in the graph below the composition of the National Assembly updated before the result of the 2022 legislative elections.
The result of these 2022 legislative elections will determine a new political balance of power which will structure Emmanuel Macron’s second term: the re-elected president hopes to once again have an absolute majority in the Assembly. Otherwise, the program he intends to implement will be considerably disrupted. These legislative elections are in fact a new match between the three formations which now represent the political triptych of the country: the radical left carried by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the parties of the presidential majority united under the label Together! and the sovereignist and nationalist right of Marine Le Pen.

How do legislative elections work?
The men and women appointed deputies during the legislative elections are the representatives of national sovereignty for 5 years, except in the event of dissolution interrupting the legislature. The election is carried out by direct universal suffrage, by a so-called uninominal majority ballot in two rounds in each constituency. In each constituency, a candidate is elected and therefore obtains a deputy seat in the first round, if he obtains an absolute majority of the votes cast (50%) and a number of votes equal to a quarter of the number of registered voters.
To qualify for the second round, a candidate must have received in the first round a number of votes at least equal to 12.5% of the number of registered voters in the constituency. But if only one candidate fulfills this condition, then the candidate who came in second place can remain in the second round. If no candidate has obtained the 12.5% of registered votes, the two candidates who come first are qualified for the second round. In the second round, the candidate who comes first, with an absolute or relative majority, is elected. In the event of a perfect equality of votes, the oldest candidate is elected.
Who are the candidates for the 2022 legislative elections?
6,293 candidates were submitted to the prefecture for these legislative elections. According to the electoral code, to stand as legislative candidates, a certain number of conditions must be met: be of legal age on the day of the election; enjoy their civic rights; not be in a case of incapacity or ineligibility provided for by law. A candidate is not obliged, on the other hand, to appear on the electoral list of one of the communes of the legislative constituency he is targeting. It is forbidden to run in several constituencies. It is impossible for a mayor or a person exercising local executive functions to stand as a candidate in a legislative election, since the organic law of February 14, 2014 on the non-accumulation of mandates.
What are the dates of the 2022 legislative elections?
