Legislative 2022: In the Hauts-de-Seine triangular, "the game is still very open"

5:01 am: Our video recap

The hour of truth is approaching: will Emmanuel Macron have a majority in the National Assembly?

And, if so, relative or absolute?

In order to have a "strong majority", Emmanuel Macron and his camp have largely dramatized the issues in this between-two-rounds.

Obviously, the Nupes (New People's Ecological and Social Union) does not fail to mock what it considers a sign of “panic” in the face of the fear of defeat.

This is the first point of this 21st and penultimate “Recap” of the

video campaign.



5 a.m.: Towards a new abstention record?

The closer the election approaches, the more the prognosis becomes clearer: after the relative upturn in the presidential election, the first round of legislative elections on Sunday risks recording a new record of abstention which could favor the Macronist majority.

According to the latest Ipsos Sopra-Steria survey for Cevipof, the Jean-Jaurès Foundation and Le Monde published on Wednesday, abstention could reach between 52% and 56% on Sunday, with an average point of 54%, well beyond 51.3% on June 11, 2017, a previous record for a first round of legislative elections.

4:51 a.m .: What power do deputies have?

Along with the Senate, the National Assembly holds the legislative power, that is to say, to make the law and control the government.

In the event of disagreement on a text of law with the upper house, currently dominated by the right, it is the deputies who have the last word.

Parliamentarians can table bills and amendments, and examine government bills.

They control the action of the government through oral or written questions, commissions of inquiry or missions of information.

MEPs are also responsible for evaluating public policies.

Main weapon in the hands of deputies, the motion of censure against the government is subject to very specific rules.

To bring down the government, it must be passed by an absolute majority, by at least 289 votes.

4:42 am: How do legislative elections work?

Legislative elections are national but are held in 577 constituencies.

Each deputy is thus elected there by the uninominal majority ballot in two rounds, used since 1958. The only exception: the legislative elections of 1986, when François Mitterrand had chosen full proportional representation to limit the announced victory of the right, even if it meant bringing in 35 FN deputies in the Assembly.

If on Sunday none of the candidates exceeds 50% of the votes in the first round, the two who came first will automatically qualify for the second round on June 19.

And those who exceed 12.5% ​​of registered voters – even in third or fourth position – will be able to maintain themselves.

But the latter case will be rare, given the levels of abstention announced, above 50%.

In the second round, the one who wins the most votes will be elected.

This voting method "reproduces the logic of the presidential election and amplifies its result", allowing the Head of State to have free rein to carry out his reforms, underline the jurist Benjamin Morel and Chloé Ridel, of the association Vote better, in a recent forum at La Croix.

But it “is a big part of democratic frustration and the crisis of representativeness”.

Hello everyone !

Welcome to this new live from the editorial staff of 20 Minutes devoted to the 2022 legislative elections. Today, Sunday June 19, it is (finally) the second round of the elections.

About 48 million registered voters are called upon to elect their 577 representatives to the National Assembly.

These legislative elections are perhaps the most thrilling for twenty-five years.

Ok, it may not have been seen much during the campaign but, for the first time, almost all the polling institutes continue to put the Macronist candidates in the lead, in a standoff with the left alliance Nupes which could deprive them of an absolute majority.

The president and his government would therefore no longer have a free hand... Stay connected with us until
