The 1st constituency of the Bas-Rhin is a French legislative constituency in the Bas-Rhin département, Alsace.

Description

The constituency includes the centre and immediate northern and southern cantons of Strasbourg. All the cantons were held by parties of the left; three for the PS and one for The Greens. It is therefore no surprise that the seat returned a PS member to the National Assembly between 1997 and 2017. However, the seat was won by the centrist LREM party in 2017, before swinging back to the left in 2022, when it was gained by Sandra Regol for EELV, as part of the left-wing NUPES alliance.
