The National Assembly is the lower house of the bicameral French Parliament under the Fifth Republic,the upper house being the Senate. The National Assembly's legislators are known as députés,meaning "delegate" or "envoy" in English;etymologically,it is a cognate of the English word deputy,which is the standard term for legislators in many parliamentary systems).
The Radical Party of the Left is a social-liberal political party in France. A party in the Radical tradition,since 1972 the PRG was a close ally of the major party of the centre-left in France,the Socialist Party. After the 2017 presidential and legislative elections,negotiations to merge the PRG with the Radical Party began and the refounding congress to reunite the parties into the Radical Movement was held on 9 and 10 December 2017. However,a faction of ex-PRG members,including its last president Sylvia Pinel,split from the Radical Movement in February 2019 due to its expected alliance with La République En Marche in the European elections and resurrected the PRG.
Elections are held in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon for the French president,a member of the National Assembly,a member of the Senate,and a territorial legislature.

The 1st constituency of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon is a French legislative constituency on the islands of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. It is the islands' only constituency and also the least populated constituency in France with only 5,997 inhabitants in 2017.
Overseas France consists of 13 French-administered territories outside Europe,mostly the remains of the French colonial empire that remained a part of the French state under various statuses after decolonization. Some,but not all,are part of the European Union. "Overseas France" is a collective name;while used in everyday life in France,it is not an administrative designation in its own right. Instead,the five overseas regions have exactly the same administrative status as the metropolitan regions;the five overseas collectivities are semi-autonomous;and New Caledonia is an autonomous territory. Overseas France includes island territories in the Atlantic,Pacific and Indian Oceans,French Guiana on the South American continent,and several peri-Antarctic islands as well as a claim in Antarctica. Excluding the district of Adélie Land,where French sovereignty is effective de jure by French law,but where the French exclusive claim on this part of Antarctica is frozen by the Antarctic Treaty,overseas France covers a land area of 120,396 km2 (46,485 sq mi) and accounts for 18.0% of the French Republic's land territory. Its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 9,825,538 km2 (3,793,661 sq mi) accounts for 96.7% of the EEZ of the French Republic.
Legislative elections were held in France on 10 and 17 June 2012 to select the members of the 14th National Assembly of the Fifth Republic,a little over a month after the presidential election run-off held on 6 May.

The 14th legislature of the French Fifth Republic was the French Parliament elected in the 2012 French legislative election.
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.
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.
A substitute is a political candidate who is not directly elected,but who succeeds a politician holding an elected office after that person ceases to hold the office due to,for example,resignation or death. This system can be used to fill casual vacancies instead of holding by-elections or special elections to fill the vacant office. Substitutes are nominated,not at the time the vacancy arises but,rather,before the election for the information of voters. In voting systems which use electoral lists,the candidates on a given list who are not among those initially elected may become the substitutes for those who are. In other systems,individual candidates may have substitutes.
