Of the 577 constituencies in the legislative elections, fourteen candidates exceeded the symbolic bar of 50 % of the vote. However, only five of them were actually elected in the first round. Indeed, the electoral code provides that to be elected in the first round, it is necessary to collect the majority of the votes cast with a number of votes corresponding at least to 25 % of the registrants of the constituency.
