Record participation rate. The mobilization for this first round of the 2024 legislative elections was very strong, this Sunday, June 30: 31,968 Quimper residents out of the 43,311 registered took part in the vote, or more than seven out of ten registered. A participation rate which takes the form of a record when compared to participation in the first rounds of the legislative elections of 2017 (56.98%) and those of 2022 (54.44%). Polling stations 49 (Kernilis rural house), 35 (Victor-Hugo school) and 43 (Frédéric Le Guyader school); 4 (Léon-Goraguer) record the highest participations, very close to or slightly above 80%.
In addition to these, 20 of the 50 Quimper offices show a participation rate higher than 75%! Conversely, it is in Marie Centre (office 20) and at the Paul-Langevin school (office 17) that the lowest participation rates appear: respectively 58.67% and 62.02%.
The new popular front in the lead. In Quimper, Grégory Lebert finished in the lead in this first round, having collected 12,070 votes, or 38.1% of the votes cast. He received just over one vote in two in polling stations 11 (Penanguer) and 24 (Ergué-Armel town hall). Twenty other polling stations in Quimper gave him over 40% of the vote. The candidate of the New Popular Front only exceeded 40% of the vote in twenty other polling stations, only managing to take a seven-point lead over the outgoing MP Annaïg Le Meur in Quimper.
The candidate of the presidential majority gathered 31.52% of the votes, or 2,216 votes less than her challenger. Almost exactly the same number of votes (2,273) as Alain Le Grand in Quimper. The LR candidate did not give any voting instructions in favor of the outgoing MP (read elsewhere).
The RN has more than 20 %. The impact of the far right felt in Quimper for the Europeans on June 9 was confirmed in the first round of these legislative elections. In Quimper, the far right confirms a surge to 20.34% and imposes from the left bastion of the first constituency of Finistère a triangular with 6,359 votes out of the 31,263 votes cast.
Even if France Herman (Reconquête) only gathered 293 votes (0.34%), the extreme right now seems well anchored in the political landscape of Quimper. It brings together more than one vote in four in offices 27 (Kergomard) 30 (Quinquis), 44 (Kerfeunteun) 16 and 17 (Langevin). In 32 other offices in Quimper the far right approaches 20% or slightly exceeds it.
