Senatorial elections: more than 1,680 candidates for 178 seats

More than 1,680 candidates are standing for the renewal of half of the Senate, or 178 seats at the Luxembourg Palace. An election that may seem distant to the French because of its indirect election method: on September 27, nearly 94,000 electors, mainly municipal elected officials, will be called to vote.

However, the issue is far from being solely local. A few months before the first round of the presidential election, these elections could notably allow the National Rally, which made progress during the last municipal elections, to constitute for the first time a political group in the Senate.

To follow this election, which is more crucial than it seems, Le Figaro offers you an exceptional system to follow the results live in the 64 constituencies. Map, hemicycle and detailed results will allow us to understand at a glance the evolution of the Upper Assembly, until now mainly on the right. Infographics will also make it possible to visualize, for each parliamentary group, the new distribution of seats up for grabs.
