The abstention rate amounted to 40.41%. [1] It was a victory for the moderates and the Rally of Republican Lefts (RGR). [2]
A fairly general progression of the socialists was observed, while the communists retreated in some cantons. In most cases, the socialists allied (withdrawing candidates in favor of the better placed) with center and right-wing parties against the French Communist Party (PCF).
The Popular Republican Movement (MRP) maintained its positions in Western France and Alsace. The Gaullists (Social Republicans) found themselves in difficult positions.
In 13 cantons of Hérault, the election could not take place as the mayors staged a ballot box strike. [3]

As no alliance won a majority, it resulted in a hung parliament for the first time since 1988.
