Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Delimitation of the legislative constituencies of the Paris Department

The table L_CIRCONSCRIPTION_LEGISLATIVE_075 delimits the Paris legislative constituencies. The French legislative constituencies are territorial boundaries within which deputies are elected to the National Assembly. They are demarcated on the basis of demographic criteria (data from the population census), each representing a comparable number of inhabitants in order to respect the principle of equality before the vote. The division of constituencies is recorded in the Electoral Code, Annex 1, Table of Electoral Districts of the Departments (election of deputies). It was last amended by Order No. 2009-935 of 29 July 2009 on the allocation of seats and the delimitation of constituencies for the election of deputies. France currently has 577 constituencies, eleven of which concern French citizens living abroad. The department of Paris is divided into 18 legislative constituencies, which are partly based on the boundaries of the Paris districts and districts.
