![Result of the 2024 legislative elections in Carcassonne (11000) – 1st round [PUBLIE]](https://euro.dayfr.com/content/uploads/2024/06/30/31c20db59e.jpg)
19:53 – Will the New Popular Front benefit from the Nupes score in Carcassonne?
The dynamics of the left must also be gauged during these legislative elections, with one unknown: the decision of those who had opted for the Nupes, which no longer exists today. The Popular Front, which still lacks a leader, remains an unknown. At the end of the European elections, Raphaël Glucksmann’s list rose to 14.4% in Carcassonne. It remains that in the commune, it will also be necessary to gauge the 11.46% of Manon Aubry (La France insoumise), the 3.93% of Marie Toussaint (EELV) and the 2.21% of Léon Deffontaine (PC). That is a cumulative figure of around 30% on site. This base is high: during the first round of the Assembly elections in Carcassonne, the Nupes had also gathered 28.28% of the votes on average in the 2 constituencies of the city, a score higher than its national result. Which share will opt for the New Popular Front, supported by France Insoumise, the Socialist Party, Europe-Ecologie, the Communist Party and other left-wing forces, and given as very close to the Macronist alliance by the polling institutes during these legislative elections?
18:42 – The strong evolution of the extreme right in Carcassonne in 5 years
It’s hard to see clearly in all these figures. But some elements are emerging… The RN’s progress, which already amounts to 8 points in Carcassonne between its share of votes in the 2019 European elections and the vote on June 9, is notable. The party seems to have gained ground more quickly at the local level than at the national level, with the results in France giving Jordan Bardella’s list rather 8 points more in 2024 than in 2019. At this rate, we can therefore deduce that the RN will not be far from 40% or more here on June 30, for the first round of the legislative elections.
15:31 – A victory for Bardella in Carcassonne three weeks ago
The results of these legislative elections will probably be much closer to the verdict of the voters established on June 9, when choosing the European deputies. In detail, the RN list, headed by Jordan Bardella, won the 2024 European Parliament elections in Carcassonne. The said list won 37.07% of the votes, or 5,542 votes in the city, against Raphaël Glucksmann at 14.4% and Valérie Hayer at 11.65%.
14:32 – Marine Le Pen above Macron and Mélenchon in Carcassonne in the first round of the 2022 presidential election
It is certainly the choice of the President of the Republic that is the best indicator of the political leanings of the inhabitants of a municipality. A salient element: the National Rally had achieved an even higher result in the first round of the legislative elections in Carcassonne than Marine Le Pen herself had achieved in the presidential election. The leader of the movement had garnered 26.03% in the first round in the city. She had then surpassed Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Emmanuel Macron, each strengthened by 23.8% and 22.15%. The RN candidate had finally failed behind Emmanuel Macron in the second round (with 47.46% against 52.54%).
12:32 – Do the figures from the last legislative election make sense for the 2024 election in Carcassonne?
Looking back at the most recent legislative elections may seem obvious at the time of this new election on June 30 and July 7. Two years ago, during the legislative elections in Carcassonne, the RN finished in second place on the podium, with 27.45% of residents who voted for its representatives on average in the two constituencies of the town, compared to 28.28% on average for the Nupes candidates. Sophie Courrière Calmon (NUP) in the 1st constituency with 29.06% and Julien Rancoule (RN) in the 3rd constituency with 28.97% respectively came out on top in Carcassonne in the first round. However, in the second round, it triumphed with 51.13% of the vote, ahead of the Nouvelle union populaire écologique et sociale candidates (48.87%). In detail, the winners of this second round in the city were Christophe Barthès (RN) in the 1st constituency with 50.7% and Julien Rancoule (RN) in the 3rd constituency with 52.65%.
11:02 – Carcassonne: demography, elections and political strategies
In the midst of the legislative electoral campaign, Carcassonne presents itself as a dynamic and lively commune. With its 46,218 inhabitants, this cosmopolitan city represents the cultural wealth of contemporary France. Its 4,526 businesses reflect a favorable economy. The rate of households owning at least one car (66.82%) shows the weight of transport and road development issues in citizens’ concerns. The 4,573 foreign residents, representing 9.80% of the population, favor this cultural variety. With an average income per tax household of 21,704 euros/year, the municipality reveals a percentage of job seekers of 20.36%, announcing a fragile economic situation. In Carcassonne, local issues, such as work, education and inflation, join French challenges.
09:32 – It’s time to make a choice in Carcassonne for the legislative elections
In recent years, the 47,345 inhabitants of this urban area have made their voting preferences clear. At the time of the European elections in June 2024, 51.66% of voters in Carcassonne (Aude) went to the polling booth, compared with a turnout of 51.42% for the 2019 European elections. As a reminder, in the urban area, the turnout for the 2022 legislative elections was 46.08% in the first round and only 46.55% in the second round. What will happen for the legislative elections in Carcassonne? For the second round of the last presidential election, 71.25% of those registered on the electoral lists of the urban area went to the polling booth, compared with a turnout of 74.1% in the first round, or 22,004 people.
08:02 – What are the opening hours of the polling stations in Carcassonne?
The 37 polling stations in the city of Carcassonne (from Ancienne Mairie to Foyer de Villalbe) are open until 6 p.m. to allow voters to express themselves. On the occasion of the 2024 legislative elections, the new French parliamentarians of the Legislative Assembly will be renewed during a two-round single-member ballot. Concretely, this June 30, 2024, voters in Carcassonne must decide between the different candidates running in their legislative constituency. Two years ago, the election resulted in a divided parliament, without an absolute majority. Among the three major forces present, which of the National Rally, the union of the left (LFI, PS, Ecologists, PC…), the presidential majority will succeed in convincing the greatest number of residents of the city?
