100%.
33 voters out of 33 registered.
Burnevillers, a small village in the Doubs, won the prize for the municipalities having voted the most during this second round of the legislative elections.
To be precise, Nicolas Pacquot, LREM candidate in the constituency, obtained 15 votes - or 53.57% of the votes cast - against 13 votes offered to his opponent Nathalie Fritsch of the National Rally, or 46.43%.
You add five blank ballots to it, and the count is good: all those registered have voted.
In this constituency, the 3rd of the Doubs, the LREM candidate was elected by a hair's breadth, with 50.83% of the vote, a little over 400 votes difference with his opponent in the second round.
This is not really a surprise since already in the first round, the municipality had seen its ballot box filled there too with 100% of the expected ballots.
31 votes were cast on a list of nine candidates of different persuasions and two white ballots made up the official count.
Burnevillers is a rural town of only 48 inhabitants.
As such, it is one of the low or very low density municipalities, within the meaning of the INSEE municipal density grid.
Before this democratic feat of arms, the village and the seigniory of Chauvilliers have made very little headlines.
For the record, they were part of the Episcopal Principality of Basel until 1780.
Then, on June 20, 1780, an agreement between Louis XVI and Prince Bishop Fréderic de Wangen carried out border rectifications.
Burnevillers then passes under French sovereignty.
Only one candidate and abstention explodes
The dunce of the 2022 class of these legislative elections, in terms of voting, comes to us from Seine-Saint-Denis: with the city of Tremblay-en-France.
With 78.72% abstention, the city, which still has 20,885 registered voters, holds the record for abstention in this second round.
There is a simple reason for this “huge” score.
LFI Clémentine Autain was the only candidate in the race for the second round in the 11th constituency of Seine-Saint-Denis, after the withdrawal the week before the vote of her potential opponent.
All the more logical, as the latter, Virginie de Carvalho, is the first assistant… of Tremblay-en-France.
At the time of her withdrawal, she then specified in our columns that it was a “natural decision”, forming “part of the republican tradition”.
But clearly ahead of Clémentine Autain (LFI, 46.15%) in the 1st round of the legislative elections, the 1st deputy mayor (DVG) of Tremblay-en-France, Virginie de Carvalho (15.18%) had no really no other choice.
We can understand that these citizens did not necessarily come en masse to bring their voices to the mouthpiece of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's party.
