Legislative elections are scheduled to take place on 11 and 18 June 2017 to elect the 577 members of the 15th National Assembly of the French Fifth Republic.

The legislative election will take place a month after the second round of the presidential election. Since 2002, presidential and legislative elections have occurred in the same year to avert the risk of cohabitation.

In the first round of the presidential election, Emmanuel Macron of En Marche! arrived first within the borders of 230 constituencies, against 216 for Marine Le Pen (FN), 67 for Jean-Luc Mélenchon (FI), and 53 for François Fillon (LR).

The 577 members of the National Assembly are elected from single-member constituencies using the two-round system. Citizens may field their candidacies in a district, and participate in the first round. If a single candidate obtains over 50% of the vote, as well as a minimum of 25% of all registered voters, they win. If no candidate meets these criteria, a second round is held in which the two most-voted candidates from the first round, plus any other candidate who obtained above 12.5%, are allowed to participate. Of the 577 constituencies, 539 are in metropolitan France, 27 are in overseas departments and territories and 11 are for French citizens living abroad.
