An early legislative election is being held in France on 30 June, with a second round being held on 7 July 2024 to choose all 577 members of the 17th National Assembly of the Fifth French Republic. The election follows the dissolution of the National Assembly by President Emmanuel Macron, who decided to call a snap election in the aftermath of the 2024 European Parliament election in France in which the opposition National Rally made substantial gains against his L'Europe Ensemble list. The latter lost a considerable number of seats compared to the 2019 parliamentary election.^[1]

The legislative election features four main blocs:^[2] Ensemble, the coalition of pro-Macron forces including Renaissance, the Democratic Movement, and Horizons; the New Popular Front (NFP), bringing together the main parties of the left, including La France Insoumise, the Socialist Party, The Ecologists, and the French Communist Party; the National Rally (RN), which also jointly supported several dozen candidates backed by Éric Ciotti of The Republicans (LR) in addition to its own candidates; and the vast majority of other LR candidates, who were supported by the national investiture committee of the party.

Pre-election opinion polls suggested that high turnout and the level of tripolarisation of the electorate between Ensemble, the New Popular Front, and the National Rally could lead to an unprecedented number of three-way runoffs in the second round of the election. Analysts also noted that the consolidation of the electorate behind these three main political forces could also result in total institutional deadlock after the elections in the event that no bloc has the votes to secure support from an absolute majority of the National Assembly, which could force Macron to call a second snap election as soon as a year after the 2024 election.
