The increase in participation makes each group win. And in particular the National Rally, present in the three constituencies. In 2022, it gathered 2,784 votes, it is 7,527 this time, or 2.7 times more. It only wins offices in the 1st, around Zaragoza (35% and 31% in Nandina Park 2 and 36), in the North-West districts (26.8%, 24.3%, 26.2% and 27% in Lavigne 9, 10, 11 and 14), in 14-Juillet in Léon-Say 47 (33.45%), but also from Saint-Joseph to Saint-Do and around the university (26%, 32.4% and 26% in Bouillerce 5, 6 and 7).
15 offices on the left
Behind the left, it gains some 4,000 votes in two years. In particular thanks to the EELV Julien Brunel (NFP) in second place, who is ahead in 12 polling stations and totaling 35.84% of the votes (4,336 votes), with its best scores in Ousse-des-Bois (with 60.3% and 59% in 4 Coins du monde 21 and 22) and in the Lilas district (44.6% and 40.5% in Lapuyade 26 and 27).

But it is above all the disunited left on the 1st (Jean-Yves Lalanne and Jean Sanroman) who sweep the board in terms of the number of votes: 6,285, but in the lead in only two polling stations (Henri IV 53 for the first and Henri IV 55 for the second). On the 3rd, David Habib (DVG) maintains his Pau score and Joëlle Losson (NFP), ahead at Marca 49 and 50, does barely better than Jean-François Baby (Nupes) in 2022.
30 for the Modem
The second force in the scoreboard is the Modem, with only candidates in two of the Pau constituencies (Josy Poueyto in the 2nd and Jean-Paul Mattéï in the 2nd), it has only won 1,240 in two years. Which does not prevent the two outgoing deputies from winning 30 of the 56 Pau polling stations.

22 for the elected official from Pau who holds the lead almost everywhere in the city, with 4,665 votes. She gets her best scores in Bosquet 34 and 51 (39% and 33.5%), Hôtel de France (36%), Nandina Park 3 and 35 (35% and 34%). She also wins six polling stations in Lavigne and three in Phœbus in the West, but also in the city center Hôtel-de-Ville and two out of four polling stations in Henri IV. With 3,625 votes, her counterpart in the 2nd completes the trio in Bosquet 33 (33.3%), takes the easternmost polling stations in Lapuyade (28, 29, 33 and 37), gets good results in Lauriers 37, 39, 40 (42.6%, 44.6% and 38.5%) and Le Buisson 42.
The fourth force, the Republicans, weighs 2,051 votes – that’s more than twice as many as in 2022. In the end, the left represents 11,989 votes in Pau against 8,290 for the Modem and 7,527 for the RN. Proof that the royal city is resisting the surge of the extreme right.
Record participation
Compared to the first round of the 2022 legislative elections, participation in Pau gained 16.5 points in the first constituency (at 66.5%), 17.8 in the 2nd (at 67.38%) and + 19 in the 3rd (67.43%). Apart from polling station 56 (postal votes for prisoners, French citizens abroad with an address in Pau and career soldiers) which only showed 31% of voters, the vast majority of polling stations had a participation rate of over 65% (39 out of 56), including fourteen above 70%. The Buisson 42 polling station (still) took the prize at 77.85%, followed by Lauriers 37 (76.43%) and Hôtel de France (73.72%).
Voters arrived late
We saw a few Pau residents arriving after closing time this Sunday at the polling stations that were no longer receiving voters from 6 p.m. Some were counting on the closing time of the European elections – 8 p.m. – which were only taking place three weeks earlier, others thought they read 7 p.m…. There will be no change for the second round. In all the municipalities of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the polling stations will be open this Sunday, July 7 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
