The 2026 senatorial elections, held on Sunday, September 27, resulted in the renewal of eight senatorial seats in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. The election was conducted through indirect universal suffrage, using a proportional list system.
Following the vote, eight individuals were elected to serve in the Senate: Mr. Jérémy Bacchi, Ms. Marie-Arlette Carlotti, Mr. Guy Benarroche, Ms. Marie-Pierre Callet, Mr. Fabien Bravi, Ms. Brigitte Devésa, Mr. Renaud Muselier, and Ms. Valérie Boyer. These eight seats were up for renewal in the department.
The Bouches-du-Rhône department recorded a remarkable turnout of 99.05%. Out of the 3,694 eligible grand electors, 3,659 participated in the vote. The ballot counted 3,629 valid votes, with 23 blank ballots and 7 null ballots, among the nine candidate lists.
As a reminder, senators are elected by an electoral college composed notably of municipal representatives and other elected officials, rather than directly by citizens. The Senate, alongside the National Assembly, forms the French Parliament, participating in lawmaking and government oversight, while also representing the Republic's territorial collectivités.
