Puy-de-Dôme's 1st constituency

The 1st constituency of the Puy-de-Dôme (French: Première circonscription du Puy-de-Dôme) is a French legislative constituency in the Puy-de-Dôme département. Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using a two-round election system.

Description

The 1st constituency of the Puy-de-Dôme includes most of Clermont-Ferrand in the heart of the department. The city is home to Michelin as well as a host of other major industries.

The constituency has generally opted for left wing deputies with the exception of 1993 and 2017 in recent decades. At the 2017 election the previously dominant Socialist Party trailed in 5th with only 9% of the vote, the left-wing vote being swept up by La France Insoumise who came second. La France Insoumise won the seat at the following election in 2022, as part of the left-wing NUPES alliance.
