In the 2026 municipal elections in Toulon, Laure Lavalette, representing the National Rally (RN), faced a defeat against the incumbent mayor, Josée Massi, who is affiliated with the diverse right. Masii garnered 53.5% of the votes while Lavalette obtained 46.5% during the second round of voting. Voter participation increased to 57.5%, marking a 2-point rise compared to the previous week. In the first round of voting, Lavalette had a strong lead, obtaining 42.05%, compared to Massi's 29.54%. The lead-up to the second round saw a significant competition for votes between the two candidates, particularly targeting the supporters of Michel Bonnus, a candidate from the LR party who received only 15.7% of the votes in the first round. After Bonnus withdrew his candidacy, there was an active effort from both sides to win over his voters, ultimately contributing to Lavalette's failure to secure the mayor’s office. This election result reflects the ongoing challenges for the National Rally in gaining ground in local politics, as coalitions or fronts against them continue to emerge. The outcomes of the election could impact future political dynamics in Toulon, specifically regarding the strategies employed by right-wing parties in the area.
