Legislative elections in France are scheduled to be held on 12 and 19 June, after the 2022 presidential election.[1]

Background[]

Following the 2017 legislative election, President Emmanuel Macron's party La République En Marche! (LREM) and its allies hold a majority in the National Assembly (577 seats). The La République en Marche group has 308 deputies; the Democratic Movement (MoDem) and related parties has 42 deputies; and Agir ensemble, which was created in November 2017, has 9 deputies.

Switching the electoral system to proportional representation in part has been discussed.[2] Although the proposal to have part of Parliament elected with a proportional representation system was included in Macron's platform in 2017, this election promise was not fulfilled. A similar promise was made by François Hollande when he campaigned for the presidency in 2012.[3]

Dates[]

According to the provisions of the Electoral Code, the legislative election must be held within 60 days preceding the expiry of the powers of the outgoing National Assembly attached to the third Tuesday of June, five years after its election. The end of the mandate of the National Assembly elected in 2017 is set for 21 June 2022. The dates of the legislative election were determined by the Council of Ministers.

Electoral system[]

The 577 Members of Parliament (MPs), also known as deputies, who make up the National Assembly are elected for five years by a two-round system single member constituencies. A candidate who receives an absolute majority of valid votes and a vote total equal to 25% of the registered electorate is elected in the first round. If no candidate reaches this threshold, a runoff election is held among candidates who received a vote total equal to 12.5% of the electorate. The candidate who receives the most votes in the second round is elected.[4]

Parties and alliances[]

  • PS and Allies – centre-left
  • La France Insoumise – left-wing/far-left
  • French Communist Party – left-wing
  • National Rally – far-right
  • Debout la France – right-wing
  • Europe Ecology – The Greens – ecologist
  • Lutte Ouvrière – far-left
  • New Anticapitalist Party – far-left
  • Reconquête – far-right
  • Volt France - centrist
