Loire's 3rd constituency explained

The 3rd constituency of the Loire (French: Troisième circonscription de la Loire) is a French legislative constituency in the Loire département. Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using a two round electoral system.

Description

The 3rd constituency of the Loire lies to the east of Saint-Etienne in the south of the department. The largest town in the constituency Saint-Chamond sits on the main road between Saint-Etienne and Lyon.
