A by-election will bewas held in the [[fifth constituency for French residents overseas]] on 8 April 2018, with a second round on 22 April ifas no candidate securessecured a majority of votes in the first round. The by-election was called after the [[Constitutional Council (France)|Constitutional Council]] invalidated the election of [[Samantha Cazebonne]], candidate of [[La République En Marche!]] in the [[2017 French legislative election, 2017|June 2017 legislative elections]], on 2 February 2018. Cazebonne was re-elected in the second round on 22 April 2018, albeit with a reduced margin compared to June 2017.
 
== Background ==
In the first round of the [[2017 French legislative election, 2017|2017 legislative elections]] on 4 June, [[La République En Marche!]] candidate [[Samantha Cazebonne]] obtained a majority of votes in the first round in the [[fifth constituency for French residents overseas]] (representing French nationals residing in Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and Monaco). However, she was not immediately elected because of low turnout,<ref>{{cite news|title=Législatives 2017 : la République en marche en tête chez les Français de l’étranger|url=http://www.lemonde.fr/elections-legislatives-2017/article/2017/06/05/legislatives-2017-les-resultats-du-premier-tour-dans-les-circonscriptions-des-francais-de-l-etranger_5139108_5076653.html|newspaper=Le Monde|date=5 June 2017|accessdate=2 February 2018}}</ref> with candidates who secure a majority in the first round required to also obtain the votes of at least 25% of registered voters in order to avoid a second round.<ref>{{cite news|author=Eléa Pommiers|title=Comment se déroulent les élections législatives|url=http://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2017/04/26/les-elections-legislatives-comment-ca-marche_5117626_4355770.html|newspaper=Le Monde|date=26 April 2017|accessdate=2 February 2018}}</ref> François Ralle-Andreoli, candidate of [[La France Insoumise]] (FI), obtained 15.52% of the vote and advanced to the second round, while [[Laurence Sailliet]] of [[The Republicans (France)|The Republicans]] (LR), with 15.11%, was eliminated by 60 votes.<ref>{{cite web|title=Résultats des élections législatives 2017|url=https://www.interieur.gouv.fr/Elections/Les-resultats/Legislatives/elecresult__legislatives-2017/(path)/legislatives-2017/099/09905.html|publisher=Ministère de l'Intérieur|date=18 June 2017|accessdate=2 February 2018}}</ref>
 
After the election, Laurence Sailliet filed an appeal with the [[Constitutional Council (France)|Constitutional Council]]. Sailliet contended that Cazebonne violated article L. 52-8 of the electoral code, which states that individuals are prohibited from supporting the campaign of a candidate by supplying "goods, services or other direct or indirect advantages at prices lower than those normally practised", and was therefore ineligible for election under article L.O. 136-1136–1. Sailliet claimed that Cazebonne was present at a meeting of business leaders over a meal at a restaurant in Barcelona on 13 June that was financed by the France-Spain Chamber of Commerce and Industry. However, the records Cazebonne submitted to the National Commission for Campaign Accounts and Political Financing (CNCCFP) showed that the meal was paid for by each of its participants, not the France-Spain Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and this complaint was therefore dismissed.<ref name="CC">{{cite web|title=Décision n° 2017-5052 AN du 2 février 2018|url=http://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/conseil-constitutionnel/francais/les-decisions/acces-par-date/decisions-depuis-1959/2018/2017-5052-an/decision-n-2017-5052-an-du-2-fevrier-2018.150653.html|publisher=Conseil constitutionnel|date=2 February 2018|accessdate=2 February 2018}}</ref><ref name="Lioult">{{cite news|author=Catherine Lioult|title=Les Français de Monaco n'ont plus de députée|url=https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/provence-alpes-cote-d-azur/francais-monaco-n-ont-plus-depute-1416835.html|publisher=France 3 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur|date=6 February 2018|accessdate=6 February 2018}}</ref>
 
Although the complaint concerning the eligibility of Cazebonne was rejected, Sailliet also raised concerns about the administration of the election. Due to an error, voting materials were not mailed to 94 voters before the first round as required under article R. 176-4 of the electoral code; of these 94 voters, 56 did not vote despite having the right to do so. As a result of delays in the delivery of voting materials or omissions in those sent, many voters were unable to submit mail-in ballots during both rounds of voting. Although the number of voters affected by these issues was uncertain, the degree of these issues was attested to by a substantial number of voters who failed to vote, as confirmed by electoral rolls. In addition, under article L. 49 of the electoral code, diffusion of electoral messages is prohibited during the election silence. Ralle-Andreoli, who emailed a message at 20:03 local time on 3 June 2017 to some voters registered on electoral rolls within the constituency, violated this article. Given these issues and the small margin separating the second- and third-placed candidates in the first round, the constitutional council annulled the result of the election,<ref name="CC"/><ref name="Lioult"/> triggering a by-election within three months.<ref>{{cite news|title=Wallis et Futuna : le Conseil constitutionnel annule l'élection du député Napole Polutele|url=https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/wallis-futuna-conseil-constitutionnel-annule-election-du-depute-napole-polutele-555643.html|agency=Agence France-Presse|publisher=Outre-mer 1ère|date=2 February 2018|accessdate=2 February 2018}}</ref>
