Legislative elections are not scheduled to be held in France before July 2025 to elect all 577 members of the 17th National Assembly of the Fifth French Republic.[1]
The 2024 elections resulted into a hung parliament and a minority government led by Michael Barnier being appointed by president Emmanuel Macron. The Constitution of France states "no new dissolution may be carried out within one year of these elections." The National Assembly will therefore remain in session until at least July 2025.[2] However the absence of a stable majority means the current government lives under the threat of a future vote of no confidence as well as losing parliamentary votes which has led to speculations of snap elections taking place well ahead of 2029.[3][4][5]
