Charente-Maritime's 4th constituency

The 4th constituency of Charente-Maritime (French: Quatrième circonscription de la Charente-Maritime) is one of five electoral districts in the department of Charente-Maritime, each of which returns one deputy to the French National Assembly in elections using the two-round system, with a run-off if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in the first round.

Description
The constituency is made up of 11 whole (pre-2015) cantons – those of Archiac, Cozes, Gémozac, Jonzac, Mirambeau, Montendre, Montguyon, Montlieu-la-Garde, Pons, Royan-Est, and Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge – plus two communes (Colombiers and La Jard) belonging to a twelfth: that of Saintes-Est.
