A by-election was held in Loiret's 4th constituency on 18 March 2018, with a second round on 25 March as no candidate secured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was prompted by the invalidation of the election of Jean-Pierre Door, candidate of The Republicans (LR), in the June 2017 legislative elections by the Constitutional Council on 18 December 2017. In the second round of the 2017 legislative elections on 18 June, the result was the closest in the country, with Door winning by 8 votes before the election was annulled.
Door won the second round of the by-election with 67.08% of the vote against Mélusine Harlé, candidate of La République En Marche!, with 32.92%.
Following the second round of the 2017 legislative election in Loiret's 4th constituency on 18 June, Mélusine Harlé, candidate of La République En Marche! defeated by 8 votes in the closest contest of the year, filed an appeal with the Constitutional Council appealing the election of Jean-Pierre Door of The Republicans (LR). [1]
On 18 December, the constitutional council annulled the election of Door, with the number of ballots in the commune of Préfontaines differing from the number of signatures, reducing the number of votes cast there from 166 to 165. In addition, article L. 49 of the electoral code prohibits candidates from distributing electoral materials starting from midnight the day before the election, and Harlé argued that a Facebook post made by Door depicting a speech in his capacities as mayor of Montargis commemorating the Appeal of 18 June, as well as a post made by deputy mayor Fabrice Bouscal noting that he voted for Door and inviting voters to "choose the experience faced with adventure", were in breach of the article. Given the extremely narrow margin between the two candidates at the fact that the Facebook posts were not private but public and made on the date of the election, the constitutional council ruled to annul the election of Door, triggering a by-election in the constituency. [2]
The first and second rounds of the by-election were scheduled for 18 and 25 March 2018, [3] [4] with 119 polling stations in 69 communes open from 8:00 to 18:00 CET. [5]
Candidates were required submit declarations of their candidacies between 19 and 23 February. [6]
Incumbent deputy Jean-Pierre Door of The Republicans (LR), a 76-year-old cardiologist, [5] stood in the by-election to attempt to maintain his seat. On 30 January 2018, the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI) announced its support for Door, citing his support for the political line of Alain Juppé. [7] Deputy and president of the Union of the Right and Centre group in the regional council of Centre-Val de Loire Guillaume Peltier visited the constituency to support Door on 8 March, [8] followed by senator Jean-Noël Cardoux on 9 March, [9] former minister Élisabeth Hubert on 13 March, [10] LR president Laurent Wauquiez, president of The Republicans group in the National Assembly Christian Jacob, and deputy Antoine Savignat on 14 March, [8] accompanied by UDI deputies Philippe Vigier and Maurice Leroy at a meeting attended by over 400 people, [11] [12] and Valérie Pécresse and Damien Abad between the two rounds on 20 March. [13]
Mélusine Harlé, a 45-year-old CEO of a management company and candidate of La République En Marche!, [5] launched her campaign on 13 January 2018 alongside party president Christophe Castaner, [14] against the backdrop of motorcyclists protesting the government's reduction of speed limits on local roads from 90 km/h to 80 km/h. [15] On 1 March, minister Jacqueline Gourault attended a public meeting in support of Harlé in Solterre, and Mounir Mahjoubi visited Ferrières-en-Gâtinais on 2 March. [16] Deputies Aurore Bergé, Gilles Le Gendre, and Caroline Janvier also campaigned on behalf of Harlé at a public meeting on 9 March, [17] and Olivier Dussopt subsequently visited the constituency on 16 March. [18]
Ludovic Marchetti, a 31-year-old pastry chef, [5] municipal councillor of Amilly, and departmental secretary of the National Front (FN) in Loiret, was again selected as the party's candidate in the constituency. [19]
The section of the French Communist Party (PCF) based in the constituency argued for a common front on the left unifying the PCF, La France Insoumise, and supporters of Benoît Hamon behind a single antiliberal and ecologist candidate. [20] Franck Demaumont of the PCF also initially intended to run, [21] before reversing his decision and Bruno Nottin was nominated in his place, with Françoise Causse of La France Insoumise selected as his substitute. [22] Nottin, a 43-year-old court clerk, [5] received the support of Europe Ecology – The Greens (EELV), [23] which was initially considered likely to present its own candidate. [24] On 6 March, Pierre Laurent, national secretary of the PCF, visited Amilly to support Nottin. [25]
Jérôme Schmitt, a 46-year-old employed in the nuclear sector, [5] contested Loiret's 6th constituency in 2017 and stood as the candidate of La France Insoumise, which did not present a candidate in the constituency in June against PCF mayor of Châlette-sur-Loing Franck Demaumont in acknowledgment of his sponsorship of Jean-Luc Mélenchon for the presidential election. However, relations between the two movements deteriorated since then, though Schmitt did not rule out the possibility of an alliance with the PCF. [24] Adrien Quatennens and François Ruffin visited the constituency in support of Schmitt on 1 March, [26] followed by door-to-door campaigning by deputies Sabine Rubin and Éric Coquerel on 10 March, [27] and Jean-Luc Mélenchon hosted a public meeting, introduced by Alexis Corbière, that was attended by some 200 people in Montargis on 13 March. [26]
Jalila Gaboret, a 45-year-old secondary school teacher, [5] was again announced as the candidate of the PS on 27 January, [28] and received the support of Olivier Faure, leader of the New Left group in the National Assembly, at a public meeting in Ingré on 19 February. [29]
Luc Bucheton, a 55-year-notary and departmental secretary of Debout la France (DLF), [5] [30] was again invested by the party, and received the support of DLF president Nicolas Dupont-Aignan in Cepoy on 14 March, [31] and was also accompanied by FN regional councillor Alexandre Cuignache, who decided to leave the party to join Dupont-Aignan. [32]
Dominique Clergue, a 52-year-old blue-collar worker, [5] was again invested by Lutte Ouvrière (LO). [33] Laurent Chaillou, a 46-year-old supervisor, [5] was invested by the Popular Republican Union (UPR), and UPR founder François Asselineau visited the constituency in support of his party's candidate on 10 March. [34] Nicolas Rousseaux, a 42-year-old executive, was invested under the banner of Force Nationale. Frédéric Chaouat, a 55-year-old English professor, stood as an independent candidate. Joël-Pierre Chevreux, a 62-year-old editor of an online publication, stood as the candidate of the Humans, Animals, Nature Movement (MHAN). [5]
France Bleu Orléans and apostrophe45 broadcast a debate between Door and Harlé on 22 March at 19:00 CET. [35]

The first French legislative constituency for citizens abroad is one of eleven constituencies representing French people living outside France. It was created by the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies and elects, since 2012, one representative to the National Assembly.
The Sixth French legislative constituency for citizens abroad is one of eleven constituencies each electing one representative of French people living outside France to the National Assembly.
The Seventh French legislative constituency for citizens abroad is one of eleven constituencies each electing one representative of French people living outside France to the French National Assembly.
The Eighth French legislative constituency for citizens abroad is one of eleven constituencies each electing one representative of French people living outside France to the French National Assembly.
The Tenth French legislative constituency for citizens abroad is one of eleven constituencies each electing one representative of French people living outside France to the French National Assembly.
Legislative elections were held in France on 11 and 18 June 2017 to elect the 577 members of the 15th National Assembly of the Fifth Republic. They followed the two-round presidential election won by Emmanuel Macron. The centrist party he founded in 2016, La République En Marche! (LREM), led an alliance with the centrist Democratic Movement (MoDem); together, the two parties won 350 of the 577 seats—a substantial majority—in the National Assembly, including an outright majority of 308 seats for LREM. The Socialist Party (PS) was reduced to 30 seats and the Republicans (LR) reduced to 112 seats, and both parties' allies also suffered from a marked drop in support; these were the lowest-ever scores for the centre-left and centre-right in the legislative elections. The movement founded by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, la France Insoumise (FI), secured 17 seats, enough for a group in the National Assembly. Among other major parties, the French Communist Party (PCF) secured ten and the National Front (FN) obtained eight seats. Both rounds of the legislative election were marked by record low turnout.
Renaissance (RE) is a political party in France that is typically described as liberal and centrist or centre-right. The party was originally known as En Marche ! (EM) and later La République En Marche !, before adopting its current name in September 2022. RE is the leading force of the centrist Ensemble coalition, coalesced around Emmanuel Macron's original presidential majority.
La France Insoumise is a left-wing political party in France. It was launched in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, then a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and former co-president of the Left Party (PG). It aims to implement the eco-socialist and democratic socialist programme L'Avenir en commun. The party utilises the lower case Greek letter phi as its logotype.
The 15th legislature of the French Fifth Republic was the French Parliament that was in office from 27 June 2017 until 21 June 2022. The party of President Emmanuel Macron, La République En Marche! (LREM), obtained an absolute majority of 308 deputies, alongside its ally, the Democratic Movement (MoDem), which secured 42 seats. The newly installed deputies elected François de Rugy as President of the National Assembly when the National Assembly first convened on 27 June. The legislative election saw a record level of renewal, with only a quarter of the deputies elected in 2012 also elected in 2017, as well as a significant increase in the representation of women and youth. With seven planned parliamentary groups, it would be the most fragmented National Assembly since 1958.
The first round of a by-election was held in Val-d'Oise's 1st constituency on 28 January 2018, with a second round on 4 February because no candidate secured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was called due to the invalidation of the election of Isabelle Muller-Quoy, candidate of La République En Marche! (REM), in the June 2017 legislative elections by the Constitutional Council on 16 November 2017. It was the first legislative by-election held during the 15th National Assembly.
The first round of a by-election was held in Territoire de Belfort's 1st constituency on 28 January 2018, with a second round on 4 February because no candidate secured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was called due to the invalidation of the election of Ian Boucard, candidate of The Republicans (LR), in the June 2017 legislative elections by the Constitutional Council on 8 December 2017, due to the distribution of misleading electoral leaflets by Boucard's campaign between the two rounds.
A by-election was held in French Guiana's 2nd constituency on 4 March 2018, with a second round on 11 March as no candidate secured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was called after the Constitutional Council invalidated the election of Lénaïck Adam, candidate of La République En Marche! (REM), in the June 2017 legislative elections on 8 December 2017.
European Parliament elections were held in France on 26 May 2019, electing members of the 9th French delegation to the European Parliament as part of the elections held across the European Union. The election featured two major changes since the 2014 election: the return to a single national constituency and the increase in the number of French seats from 74 to 79 upon the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Officially, 79 MEPs were considered to have been elected, including five "virtual" MEPs who did not take their seats until the UK formally left the EU. The election featured 34 separate electoral lists, a record number at the national level.
A by-election was held in Haute-Garonne's 8th constituency on 11 March 2018, with a second round on 18 March as no candidate secured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was prompted after the Constitutional Council invalidated the election of Joël Aviragnet, candidate of the Socialist Party (PS), in the June 2017 legislative elections on 18 December 2017.
A by-election was held in Mayotte's 1st constituency on 18 March 2018, with a second round on 25 March as no candidate secured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was called after the Constitutional Council invalidated the election of Ramlati Ali, candidate of the Socialist Party (PS) in the June 2017 legislative elections and member of the La République En Marche group in the National Assembly, on 19 January 2018.
Fabien Roussel is a French politician who has served as national secretary of the French Communist Party (PCF) since 2018. He was the party’s candidate in the 2022 French presidential election where he placed eight in the first round. Roussel represented the Nord's 20th constituency in the National Assembly from 2017 to 2024.
The New Ecological and Social People's Union was a left-wing electoral alliance of political parties in France. Formed on May Day 2022, the alliance included La France Insoumise (LFI), the Socialist Party (PS), the French Communist Party (PCF), The Ecologists (LE), Ensemble! (E!), and Génération.s (G.s), and their respective smaller partners. It was the first wide left-wing political alliance since the Plural Left in the 1997 French legislative election. Over 70 dissident candidates who refused the accord still ran.
Davy Rimane is a French politician and labor activist. Rimane was elected to represent French Guiana's 2nd constituency in the 2022 French legislative election. He had previously contested the seat in the 2017 legislation election as well as the 2018 by-election.
Thomas Ménagé is a French politician and activist who has represented the 4th constituency of the Loiret department in the National Assembly since 2022.
Legislative elections were held in France on 30 June and 7 July 2024 to elect all 577 members of the 17th National Assembly of the Fifth French Republic. The election followed the dissolution of the National Assembly by President Emmanuel Macron, triggering a snap election after the National Rally (RN) made substantial gains and Macron's Besoin d'Europe electoral list lost a significant number of seats in the 2024 European Parliament election in France.
