333 763. Like the number of voters registered on the electoral lists for the department. This figure is lower than the number of voters registered during the European elections, on Sunday June 9. There were then 335,675 registered, a decrease of 1,912 voters. “The explanation is in the electorate. In the European elections, in addition to nationals, European nationals voted, or around 2,000 voters registered on the European supplementary lists,” explains the prefecture’s elections department. This figure may vary up until election day, given the deaths recorded in the municipalities.

528. Like the number of polling stations installed in the 327 municipalities in the department. Many municipalities, such as the towns of Mont-de-Marsan, Dax, Biscarrosse and Saint-Paul-lès-Dax, have several polling stations. In the majority of Landes municipalities, there is a single polling station.


528 polling stations will be open on Sunday in Landes from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

3. Like the number of constituencies in the Landes. They each have more than 100,000 registered voters. The first covers a large territory, going from Mont-de-Marsan to the Atlantic coast (from Biscarrosse to Castets).

4. As the minimum number of people needed to run a polling station. It must be composed of a president, at least two assessors and a secretary.

18. Like the closing time of all 528 polling stations in Landes. No municipality extends its poll until 7 p.m., or even 8 p.m. (as can be the case in some large cities).

23. Like the number of candidates registered for these early legislative elections in the department. There were 31 of them during the last elections of the same type in June 2022. There are eight of them trying their chances in the first constituency, just like in the third. Finally, there will be seven in the second constituency.

2012. Like the last year when a Landes deputy was elected in the first round. It was Henri Emmanuelli in the third constituency. He had collected 56.07% against Marie-Filomène Labaste for the UMP (barely a little more than 21%).

0. Like the number of triangulars during legislative elections in the Landes since 1968. Which could be different for this election, given the high expected participation. Answer this Sunday evening from 6 p.m.

8. Like the number of legislative elections won by Henri Emmanuelli in Landes (third constituency). A record since 1968. He is followed by Alain Vidalies with five, in the first constituency.

3. Like the number of elections won in the first round by deputy Henri Emmanuelli, in the third constituency. The first time was in 1981. He repeated this performance in 1986 and 2012. In 1981, Roger Duroure was elected in the first round in the first constituency. Still in the first, André Mirtin was also elected in the first round in 1968. Since 1968, in the second constituency, deputies have always been elected after two rounds.

20 years, 2 months and 15 days. Like the longest mandate, since 1968, for a Landes deputy. This is the record held by Alain Vidalies in the first constituency. He is shortly followed by Jean-Pierre Dufau, deputy for the second constituency for 20 years and 8 days. Finally, on the third, it is Henri Emmanuelli who holds the longest mandate with 17 years, 1 month and 14 days in office.
