I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the France hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 10 France elections I cover, each with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places, and an interactive map you can explore region by region.

The political system of France

France (the French Republic) is a unitary semi-presidential republic and the European Union's second most populous member state, a founding member of the EU and the eurozone, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a nuclear power. Its political system, the Fifth Republic, was designed by Charles de Gaulle in 1958 and is built around an unusually powerful directly elected President of the Republic, who appoints the Prime Minister, chairs the Council of Ministers, conducts foreign and defence policy and can dissolve the National Assembly. Legislative power rests with a bicameral Parliament: the directly elected National Assembly (Assemblée nationale) of 577 deputies, which can bring down the government and has the final say on legislation, and the indirectly elected Senate (Sénat), chosen by an electoral college of local officials.

Almost every French election uses the two-round majority system. In the presidential election, held every five years since the 2000 reform shortened the term from seven, a candidate who wins an absolute majority of the first round is elected outright; otherwise the top two contest a run-off two weeks later — a format that has structured French politics around the question of who reaches, and who is blocked in, the second round. The 577 deputies of the National Assembly are elected the same way in single-member constituencies, with any candidate clearing 12.5% of registered voters able to advance to the run-off, so three-way second rounds (triangulaires) are possible. By contrast, the European Parliament election uses nationwide proportional representation with a 5% threshold, and regional and municipal elections use two-round proportional list systems that award a majority bonus to the winning list.

French politics was for decades organised around an alternation between a centre-left bloc led by the Socialist Party (Parti socialiste) and a centre-right bloc led by the Gaullist movement, latterly Les Républicains, with the far-right Front National (renamed Rassemblement National in 2018) on the margins. That order was shattered in 2017, when Emmanuel Macron's centrist movement La République En Marche (now Renaissance) won the presidency and an Assembly majority, collapsing both traditional parties at once. Politics has since reorganised into three blocs: Macron's liberal centre, a reunited left (the Nouveau Front populaire, successor to NUPES, bringing together La France Insoumise, the Socialists, the Greens and the Communists), and the rising national-populist right of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella's Rassemblement National, flanked by Éric Zemmour's Reconquête. The 2024 European election, which Macron answered by dissolving the Assembly, and the snap legislative election that followed left France with a hung parliament and no single bloc near a majority.

Elections are administered by the Ministry of the Interior, which publishes official results, with the Constitutional Council (Conseil constitutionnel) proclaiming the presidential outcome. This page collects French election results since 2015 — presidential, legislative, European, regional and municipal — each with an interactive map of the vote by region.

Elections covered on this page

Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.

How these results are compiled

Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for France — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
