The first round of the 2024 legislative elections takes place this Sunday, June 30, and the results will be available on Linternaute.com from 8 p.m., not before, as required by French legislation. This decisive election to elect the next deputies who will sit in the National Assembly is giving you a hard time? Are you having trouble finding candidates running in your constituency? Groupings and alliances make it difficult to read the candidates and the different nuances that will make up the ballot.
To try to see things more clearly, we dissected the lists of candidates from the three main blocs who should compete for the majority, by reallocating a party label (LFI, PS, EELV, PCF, DVG, Renaissance, Modem, Horizons, Radical Party, DVD, LR, RN…) to each within the three main blocs (union of the left within the Popular Front, presidential majority under the banner “Together for the Republic” and extreme right including the RN and its allies).

A few hours after the announcement of the dissolution of the National Assembly, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, Europe Ecologie Les Verts, La France insoumise, Place publique and the environmentalist pole came together to build an alliance. In a few days, the left-wing groups divided the constituencies in such a way as to present single candidates: 229 for La France insoumise, 175 for the Socialist Party-Place publique, 92 for the ecologists and their allies, 50 for the communists. Here is the detail by constituency:
On the quota of La France insoumise, Adrien Quatennens, initially a candidate, finally gave up his candidacy in the North following a bronca concerning his conviction for domestic violence at the end of 2022. LFI invested in his place Aurélien Le Coq, co -national leader of Jeunes insoumis. Furthermore, the non-reinvestment of several deputies at odds with Jean-Luc Mélenchon caused controversy: Alexis Corbière (Seine-Saint-Denis), Raquel Garrido (Seine-et-Marne), Danielle Simonnet (Paris), Frédéric Mathieu ( Ille-et-Vilaine) and Hendrik Davi (Bouches-du-Rhône). On the other hand, the deputy for Somme François Ruffin is a candidate for re-election, as is the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain. LFI has also decided to invest NPA activist Philippe Poutou in the 1st constituency of Aude.
On the socialist side, François Hollande’s candidacy has caused a reaction: the former President of the Republic has been invested in the 1st constituency of Corrèze, his stronghold. Another surprising candidacy: that of Emmanuel Macron’s former Minister of Health, Aurélien Rousseau, invested by Place publique in the 7th constituency of Yvelines. The latter had left the government following the vote on the immigration law. On the communist side, the young Léon Deffontaines, head of the list defeated in the European elections, is a candidate in the 3rd constituency of Somme. The leader of the PCF, Fabien Roussel, is a candidate for re-election in the North. On the EELV side, the party’s national secretary, Marine Tondelier, is running as Samira Laal’s substitute in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais.
On the right, the branch of LR which followed Eric Ciotti in his rapprochement with Jordan Bardella’s party presents 62 candidates, who will therefore be supported by the RN. The National Rally, for its part, reinvests the vast majority of its outgoing deputies. Here are the details of the applications:
Among the candidates to follow, those of Marine Le Pen in Pas-de-Calais (11th), Jean-Philippe Tanguy in Somme (4th) and Sébastien Chenu in Nord (19th). The minority branch of LR, which followed its president Eric Ciotti, includes first and foremost the deputy of the 1st constituency of Alpes-Maritimes himself, who will therefore not have an RN candidate facing him. He was followed in his alliance by another deputy of the department, Christelle d’Intorni, as well as by the president of the Young Republicans, Guilhem Carayon, who is running in Tarn. The outgoing deputy Meyer Habib, in the 8th constituency of French people established outside France, is also following the movement. Also noteworthy are the candidacies of several CNews columnists under this double investiture: Guillaume Bigot, Sébastien Laye, Philippe Fontana and Charles Prats. A former Macronist MP, Typhanie Degois, is also joining the alliance and running in Savoie.
The majority of outgoing LR deputies, however, refused the alliance with the RN: the historic branch of the party announced very early on that it had invested “nearly 400 candidates in 93 departments and in the constituencies of French people abroad”. The party’s general secretary is naturally a candidate for re-election in Doubs, while the outgoing leader of the LR deputies, Olivier Marleix, is standing in the 2nd constituency of Eure-et-Loir.
Renaissance, Horizons and MoDem, the three main Macronist forces, are unsurprisingly reinvesting most of their outgoing deputies. But in accordance with the announcements made by the executive, the presidential majority is not presenting candidates against certain candidates from other camps, deemed “constructive” or in the “republican arc”. Here are the details of the candidacies:
The historic LR branch has indeed concluded some local arrangements with the presidential majority. The latter has also decided not to invest candidates against around twenty outgoing deputies, LR, socialists or from the LIOT group. Thus, no “Together for the Republic” candidate was invested against François Hollande in Corrèze. In addition, some agreements have been reached with LR at the local level: in Hauts-de-Seine, the right and the Macronists are presenting single candidates in each constituency. Similar agreements in Loire-Atlantique and Marseille for example.
In addition, several members and former members of the government are candidates in these legislative elections: Prime Minister Gabriel Attal is running in the 10th constituency of Hauts-de-Seine, his predecessor Elisabeth Borne in the 6th of Calvados. Gérald Darmanin is a candidate in the 10th of the North, Olivier Véran in the 1st of Isère, Stéphane Séjourné in the 9th of Paris. On the other hand, the former Minister of Solidarity Damien Abad, indicted for attempted rape in May, did not receive the investiture of the presidential majority to be a candidate for his re-election in Ain.

Candidates in your municipality
On Sunday, June 30, the results of the first round vote will qualify all candidates having received at least 12.5% of the votes of registered voters. Most of the time, there will be two of them, but triangular (3 candidates in the second round) or even quadrangular (4 candidates in the second round) are possible. The second round will give rise to intense discussions for vote carryovers, with either new alliances, withdrawals, or calls for votes, which could prove decisive. The deadline for submitting applications for the second round has been set for Tuesday, July 2, at 6 p.m. It is at this time that we will know precisely the candidates likely to enter (or return) to the National Assembly after the dissolution decided by Emmanuel Macron.
The 577 candidates who won on July 7, who became deputies, should meet for the first time on July 18 at the Palais Bourbon. By then, negotiations will also have begun to find a majority in principle and support a new government, most likely headed by a new Prime Minister. Will the latter be compatible with Emmanuel Macron’s policy or will the head of state be forced into cohabitation to complete his term? The first element of the answer is the results of these legislative elections.
