19:02 – The National Rally has vigorously gained ground in Beaune in 5 years
Elections follow one another and sometimes are not alike, but there are conclusions to be drawn from all these figures. While at the national level, Jordan Bardella’s results showed more than 30% of the votes in the European elections in June, or about eight points more than in the previous European elections, the local dynamic seems to be tenfold. The movement has already gained 10 points here between 2019 and 2024. There are therefore reasons to believe that the RN could reach or even exceed 23% on the evening of June 30, for the first round of the legislative elections.
15:31 – A 32.19% in the national average for the RN in Beaune at the beginning of June
We must also obviously look back at the very last electoral test when familiarizing ourselves with the legislative vote. The result of the National Rally list, led by Jordan Bardella in 2024, was in fact highest in Beaune, with 32.19%, or 2,318 votes in the city. The Eurosceptic movement then doubled Valérie Hayer to 18.68% and Raphaël Glucksmann to 12.06%.
14:32 – Who won the 2022 presidential election in Beaune?
Emmanuel Macron came in first place in Beaune in the first round of the presidential election with 34.33%, ahead of Marine Le Pen. The RN leader obtained 22.83%. Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Éric Zemmour had to settle for third and fourth place – with 14.88% and 8.45% of the vote respectively. And the RN leader was unable to regain the advantage in the second round, with 39.02% against 60.98%.
12:32 – What is the verdict for the presidential bloc in the legislative elections in Beaune?
The fraction of voters of the formation embodied by Jordan Bardella this evening will be a key observation point for these 2024 legislative elections at the local level. The 2022 legislative elections in Beaune will not be favorable, in the first round, to the National Rally, which will collect 15.24% in the municipality, which voted for the 5th constituency of Côte-d’Or, while the candidates Ensemble! – Presidential Majority will gather 30.24% of the votes. The movement will also be non-existent, in the municipality in any case, in the second round.
11:02 – Elections in Beaune: the impact of demographic characteristics
The demographic composition and socio-economic situation of Beaune contribute to shaping the interests and concerns of voters, and therefore their impact on legislative elections. Youth and job seekers play a central role in the municipality, with nearly 31% of the population being under 30 years old, and an unemployment rate of 11.64%. The rate of families without a car (31.13%) shows less dependence on the automobile. This factor could influence the 6,543 voters on questions of transport and road development. The number of CAF beneficiaries (20.46%) highlights the need for family support, while the rate of employees on fixed-term contracts (10.44%) indicates work safety issues. The figures on education in Beaune highlight a diversity of qualifications, with 14.36% of residents holding only the baccalaureate. It is essential to ensure that French policies adapt to local realities.
09:32 – Beaune: the mobilization of citizens in the legislative elections
An analysis of previous electoral events gives an idea of how the citizens of this city voted. At the beginning of June, at the time of the European elections, 49.78% of those registered on the electoral lists of Beaune had boycotted the polls, compared to an abstention rate of 54.11% in 2019. As a reminder, in the city, the abstention rate in the 2022 legislative elections was 54.9% in the first round. In the second round, 57.6% of voters did not exercise their right to vote. On a French scale, participation was already analyzed in June 2022. It reached 18.4% at noon and only 39.4% at 5 p.m. for the first round, which was less than in 2017.
08:02 – The legislative elections in Beaune are today
