A candidate is elected in the first round if he or she obtains an absolute majority of the vote in his or her constituency <i>and</i> the votes of at least one quarter of all registered voters in the constituency. If a large number of voters abstain, an absolute majority of the vote may thus not be enough, although this rarely happens. (In the 2012 election, one surprising example was in <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martinique%27s_3rd_constituency" title="Martinique's 3rd constituency">Martinique's 3rd constituency</a>, where incumbent MP <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Letchimy" title="Serge Letchimy">Serge Letchimy</a> of the <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martinican_Progressive_Party" title="Martinican Progressive Party">Martinican Progressive Party</a> received 63.29% of the vote, but narrowly failed to be immediately elected due to a very low turnout (30.67%).<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup>) If no candidate is elected in the first round, then the two candidates who finished first and second in the first round advance automatically to the second for a runoff. They may be joined by the third- or even fourth-placed candidate; the second round is open to any candidate who has obtained the votes of at least 12.5% of <i>registered</i> voters in the constituency.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup> Low turnouts therefore decrease the likelihood of a three-person runoff (known in France as a <i>triangulaire</i>). In the second round, the candidate who obtains the most votes is elected; an absolute majority is not required. (In the unlikely event of a tie, the elder of the tied candidates is elected.)<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a></sup> </p><p>Candidates who advance to the second round have the option of withdrawing. Usually this happens in a <i>triangulaire</i>, where the party and/or candidate that finished third in the first round prefers to favour one of the two leading candidates. In the 2012 election, for example, third-placed UMP candidate Roland Chassain in the <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bouches-du-Rh%C3%B4nes%27s_16th_constituency&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Bouches-du-Rhônes's 16th constituency (page does not exist)">Bouches-du-Rhônes's 16th constituency</a> withdrew in order to help the National Front candidate defeat the Socialist candidate.<sup id="cite_ref-Arles_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arles-22">[22]</a></sup> In addition, the parties of the mainstream left (Socialist, Greens, Left Front, Radical Party of the Left, various smaller parties) have a long-standing agreement whereby they do not stand against one another in the second round. If two of them advance to the second round in the same constituency, the less-well-placed of the two automatically withdraws. In some cases, this means a <i>triangulaire</i> is avoided, and the left is united against a single right-wing candidate. In the 2012 election, for example, in the <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauts-de-Seine%27s_11th_constituency" title="Hauts-de-Seine's 11th constituency">Hauts-de-Seine's 11th constituency</a>, incumbent MP and Left Front candidate <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-H%C3%A9l%C3%A8ne_Amiable" title="Marie-Hélène Amiable">Marie-Hélène Amiable</a> narrowly finished second (29.20%) behind Socialist candidate Julie Sommaruga (29.93%). Amiable withdrew, supporting Sommaruga in her runoff against <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Centre" class="mw-redirect" title="New Centre">New Centre</a> candidate Jean-Loup Metton, who had finished third in the first round with enough support to advance to the second (24.15%). In other cases, this rule means that only one candidate remains in the "second round". Thus, Socialist Najia Amzal withdrew in favour of Left Front candidate and incumbent MP <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-George_Buffet" title="Marie-George Buffet">Marie-George Buffet</a> in <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine-Saint-Denis%27s_4th_constituency" title="Seine-Saint-Denis's 4th constituency">Seine-Saint-Denis's 4th constituency</a>; Left Front candidate <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Le_Hyaric" title="Patrick Le Hyaric">Patrick Le Hyaric</a> withdrew in favour of Socialist candidate <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lisabeth_Guigou" title="Élisabeth Guigou">Élisabeth Guigou</a> in <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine-Saint-Denis%27s_6th_constituency" title="Seine-Saint-Denis's 6th constituency">Seine-Saint-Denis's 6th constituency</a>; Left Front candidate and incumbent MP <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Gosnat" title="Pierre Gosnat">Pierre Gosnat</a> withdrew in favour of <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_and_Republican_Movement" title="Citizen and Republican Movement">Citizen and Republican Movement</a> candidate <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Laurent" title="Jean-Luc Laurent">Jean-Luc Laurent</a> in the <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val-de-Marne%27s_10th_constituency" title="Val-de-Marne's 10th constituency">Val-de-Marne's 10th constituency</a>; and Green candidate Stéphane Gatignon withdrew in front of the Left Front's incumbent MP <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Asensi" title="François Asensi">François Asensi</a> in <a href="/web/20220128105149/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine-Saint-Denis%27s_4th_constituency" title="Seine-Saint-Denis's 4th constituency">Seine-Saint-Denis's 4th constituency</a>.

Favoured by electoral alliances with the Socialist Party, its close allies, the Radical Party of the Left and the Citizen and Republican Movement, obtained respectively 13 and 2 seats, for a total of 315. This meant that the Socialists could govern without having to rely on the support of other left-wing parties – the Greens, or the Left Front.<sup id="cite_ref-gauche_triomphe_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gauche_triomphe-51">[51]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-pie_52-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pie-52">[52]</a></sup> </p><p>Europe Ecology – The Greens (EELV), part of the government and of the presidential majority, also benefited from an electoral alliance with the Socialists, increasing its number of seats from just 4 to 18.
