Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using a two round electoral system.

It is a densely packed constituency predominantly made up of suburbs of the city divided from each other by the Rhône.

One of these suburbs Vaulx-en-Velin lies between two branches of the river, surrounded on three sides by it and on the other by the Grand parc de Miribel-Jonage.

This constituency was one of the more left leaning in the department, until 2017 with the exception of 1993 it had always returned a PS deputy.

[1] * Gomez stood as a PS dissident, without the support of the party or the NUPES alliance.
