The essential
The turnout reached only 18.33% in Seine-Saint-Denis this Sunday at 5 p.m. for the first round of cantonal and regional elections.
The 93 thus has the highest abstention rate in the Ile-de-France region.
This double ballot seems to attract much less voters than the cantonal elections of 2015 alone. 28.4% of voters went to the polls at the same time.
The participation rate is particularly low in Seine-Saint-Denis.
At noon, only 7.37% of voters had gone to the polls in the department to participate in the departmental and regional elections.
In 2015, for the departmental only, participation stood at 9.44% at the same time.
Organized in a context of health restrictions, these departmental elections take place at the same time as the regional ones.
The polling stations close at 8 p.m.
In total, 784,492 voters are called to the polls in the 21 cantons of Seine-Saint-Denis.
This involves electing two departmental councilors per canton, ie 42 elected.
112 pairs will be in the running in total, across the entire department.
This is four more than in the previous election, in 2015.
In a department ruled by the left since its creation in 1968, the right and its allies believe in their chances of victory.
Faced with this risk of change, the outgoing majority operated in most of the cantons a union ranging from environmentalists to communists.
In 2015, the left had won 12 cantons, against 9 for the right and its allies.
Accused of going it alone, rebellious France also claims an alliance with the Communists.
"It is wrong to say that we will go it alone, assures Pierre Laporte (LFI), current vice-president of the departmental council.
We have agreements with the PCF in many places.
"
The National Gathering (RN), which has no elected members within the departmental council, has 15 pairs.
In 2015, the party that was still called Front National was represented in all the cantons, and it ended up in the second round in two of them.
He even came out on top on the evening of the first round in that of Tremblay-en-France
In search of a local establishment like the RN, La République en Marche only presents candidates in eight cantons, with the support of MoDem and Agir.
"We will certainly not be able to be kingmakers" recognizes deputy Stéphane Testé (LREM).
In 2015, the participation rate was 36.83% in the first round and 34.17% in the second.
The forces involved, canton by canton
Canton n ° 1: Aubervilliers.
Held by the left, the canton of Aubervilliers is one of those most coveted by the right since the victory of Karine Franclet (UDI) in the municipal elections last year.
The mayor is also a candidate but the left, in reconstruction and a little less divided than the municipal ones, thinks it can take revenge.
Canton n ° 2: Aulnay-sous-Bois.
Séverine Maroun (LR), the first deputy mayor Bruno Beschizza (LR), puts her seat back into play in this canton, where the right now seems to be installed.
In the 2015 elections, the tandem she formed with the latter won nearly two-thirds of the votes cast.
For this Sunday's poll, six pairs are in the running.
Among these twelve candidates, seven took part in the municipal elections last year.
Canton n ° 3: Bagnolet.
Several leftist lists clash this Sunday in this canton where The Republicans and the UDI are deadlocked.
The communist and Insoumis duo faces in particular the tandem composed of Elodie Girardet and Daniel Guiraud (PS), the outgoing departmental councilor.
Canton n ° 4: Blanc-Mesnil.
In this canton won in 2015 by the mayor of Blanc-Mesnil Thierry Meignen (Libres!), His former chief of staff stands in front of his chief of staff and outgoing adviser.
These two right-wing pairs will face a left almost united behind Fabien Gay (PCF) and Sandrine Hedel (GRS), as well as tandems whose identity is intriguing.
Canton n ° 5: Bobigny.
The two outgoing departmental advisers, Pascale Labbé (PCF) and Abdel Sadi (PCF), are running for a new mandate, this time with the support of the PS and environmentalists.
The UDI, which lost Bobigny last year during the municipal elections, precisely against the Communists, is hoping for revenge.
Canton n ° 6: Bondy.
Senator Philippe Dallier (LR), who presents himself in this canton won in 2015 by the right-wing mayors of Bondy and Pavillons-sous-Bois, hopes to become president of the departmental council of Seine-Saint-Denis if that -Here switches to the right.
The Republicans do not imagine in any case losing this canton facing a left divided into two pairs.
Canton n ° 7: La Courneuve.
Four candidates face the favorite pair led by Stéphane Troussel (PS), at the head of the departmental council of Seine-Saint-Denis since September 2012. The switch to the right of this canton is highly improbable.
Canton n ° 8: Drancy.
After the very broad municipal re-election last year of Aude Lagarde (UDI), who is seeking a new mandate in the departmental council during these elections, the canton seems impregnable for the left.
In 2015, it was the far right that rose to the second round, with a modest score, however.
Canton n ° 9: Epinay-Pierrefitte.
A divided left against an ambitious right: such is the balance of power in the canton of Épinay.

Canton n ° 10: Gagny.
In this canton, two left-wing pairs will face that of the outgoing departmental councilor Marie-Blanche Pietri (LR), narrowly elected in 2015, and the mayor of Gagny (LR) Rolin Cranoly.
Canton n ° 11: in Livry-Gargan.
Fratricidal duel on the right in this canton.
The outgoing departmental councilor Gérard Prudhomme (Agir) faces the mayor of Livry-Gargan Pierre-Yves Martin (DVD), who was his deputy in 2015. The two men, allied during the municipal elections in 2014, have been taking different paths for several years.
Canton n ° 12: Montreuil 1.
Eight pairs - a record - compete this Sunday in this canton including Rosny-sous-Bois and part of Montreuil.
It is held by Magali Thibault (PS) and Frédéric Molossi (PS), who are seeking a new mandate.
Facing the leavers, the left and the right are divided.
Canton n ° 13: Montreuil 2.
“A large union of the left” has taken place in this canton.
Four pairs are in contention this Sunday, including the outgoing vice-president of the departmental council Belaïde Bedreddine (PCF), who is teaming up, this time, with an environmental candidate.
Canton n ° 14: Noisy-le-Grand.
The campaign was electric in this strategic canton, where the left appears almost united.
The two opposing pairs during the second round in 2015 - Emmanuel Constant (PS) and Frédérique Denis (EELV), the outgoing advisers, on the one hand, and Brigitte Marsigny (LR) and Eric Allemon (UDI), on the other hand - are in contention again.
They will face six other candidates.
Canton n ° 15: Pantin.
Historically held by the left, this canton straddling Pantin and Le Pré-Saint-Gervais arouses all envy. Almost all of the main national political parties will also be represented in this Sunday's ballot, from La République en Marche to La France Insoumise, via the Socialist Party or the National Rally. Seven pairs are in the running.
Canton n ° 16: Saint-Denis 1.
While agreements have been concluded between socialists and communists in most sectors of Seine-Saint-Denis, the two parties clash in the two cantons of the city, which has switched in the municipal elections last year with the victory of the PS over the PCF. In the canton of Saint-Denis 1, the new mayor of the city and outgoing councilor, Mathieu Hanotin (PS), will not be a candidate for re-election. It is his assistants Corentin Duprey (PS) and Oriane Filhol (Génération.s) who present themselves. The duo will face a PCF - LFI alliance. The center right is also divided between two pairs UDI and LREM-MoDem.
Canton n ° 17: Saint-Denis 2.
In the canton of Saint-Denis 2, which includes part of the city as well as Stains, tensions are high between the new majority of Saint-Denis and the mayor of Stains Azzedine Taïbi ( PCF).
The latter is a candidate for re-election with the other outgoing councilor, Sylvia Capanema (LFI).
The union led by Stéphane Troussel presents the first two assistants of Mathieu Hanotin, Katy Bontinck (Génération.s) and Shems-Eddin El Khalfaoui (DVG).
Canton n ° 18: Saint-Ouen.
The left hopes to continue its reconquest.
Winner of the municipal elections last year, Karim Bouamrane (PS) intends to take back this canton lost to the left in 2015, with the victory of the centrist Hervé Chevreau.
It is the former mayor of Saint-Ouen, William Delannoy (DVD), who will try to succeed him.
Canton n ° 19: Sevran-Villepinte.
The canton will pit three winners of municipal elections.
Outgoing councilor, the mayor of Villepinte Martine Valleton (LR) will be opposed to four pairs, including those led by his counterpart from Sevran, Stéphane Blanchet (DVG), and by his predecessor, Nelly Roland (DVG).
In 2015, the victory was played by 31 votes.
Township n ° 20: Tremblay.
This strategic canton made up of four communes - Tremblay-en-France, Montfermeil, Vaujours and Coubron -, of which the last three held by the right and the center, seems cut out for the latter.
The National Front, with Jordan Bardella, came first in the first round in 2015. Threatened, the outgoing left-wing pair, formed by Pierre Laporte (LFI) and Dominique Dellac (PCF), insists on its record.
Canton n ° 21: Villemomble.
The candidates in this canton, which includes three municipalities (Villemomble, Neuilly-Plaisance and Le Raincy), are replaying the municipal elections in Villemomble. After having challenged each other during a triangular in the second round of the municipal elections in June 2020, the enemy brothers of the right - Jean-Michel Bluteau (DVD) and Patrice Calméjane (LR), the current and the former mayor - and their socialist opponent Jean-Marc Minetto clash again at the polls this Sunday. Two other pairs are in the running.
