With the municipal elections set for March 15 and 22, 2026, Le Figaro analyzes the most recent polls indicating voter intentions across France's ten largest cities. The campaign is intensifying as the deadline for submitting candidate lists approaches on February 26, followed by the official campaign kickoff on March 2, when electoral displays will be mandated at polling places. This period is crucial, as candidates will vie for attention within densely populated areas where election outcomes are often decided by a narrow margin.

The polling data reveals a competitive landscape as candidates prepare for a rigorous campaign filled with activities aimed at swaying voter opinions. Notably, in larger agglomerations, the presence of multiple candidates suggests an unpredictable electoral outcome, underscoring the importance of strategic campaign planning in the run-up to the first round of voting. Voter turnout and engagement will play a significant role in determining which candidates can leverage their platforms effectively.

As the election nears, it remains essential for analysts, political parties, and the public to remain informed about polling trends. The interpretation of these polls could inform campaign strategies, voter mobilization efforts, and ultimately the makeup of municipal leadership in France's largest cities after the two rounds of voting are completed later in March.
