Paris's 15th constituency

The 15th constituency of Paris (French: Quinzième circonscription de Paris) is a French legislative constituency in the Paris département (75). Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using the two-round system.^[2] The constituency is in the East of the city, but before the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies, it was based in the west, covering areas now in the 14th and 4th constituencies.
