DescriptionDepartments electing four or more senators elect them by a form of proportional representation. In this system parties/blocs put forth a candidate list and votes are listed for the lead candidate on each list, but in situations where a list garners enough support for more than the lead candidate to be elected these other candidates are still elected under the lead candidate's name. As such winning candidates from each bloc will be listed on this page as each earning the number of votes cast for the bloc.

In this case the UMP-led right wing bloc was led by Gaudin and elected three UMP senators. The left bloc was led by Guerini and elected three Socialist senators, one Communist senator, and one Diverse Left senator.

Andreoni sits with the Socialist Group.
