The first round decided 76 seats

The ministry’s first-round seat column records 37 seats for candidates classified as Rassemblement National and 32 for Union de la gauche. Across all classifications, that round decided 76 seats. The second-round column accounts for the other 501. Source 1

The candidate classification is the unit of the table

The Interior Ministry calls these classifications nuances de candidats. The published result uses those labels, including separate ones for Union de la gauche, Divers gauche and Parti socialiste. This page keeps the official categories and counts them separately. Source 1

The second round covers a different electorate

The ministry records 49,332,709 registered voters in the first round and 43,328,508 in the second. Turnout was 66.71% and 66.63% respectively. The second-round result follows the contests that remained after the first round, so its vote totals have a different denominator. Source 1

The total column combines only the seats

The national table’s 577 seats reconcile with the sum of the two round-specific seat columns. For example, Ensemble’s two first-round and 148 second-round seats total 150. The searchable table keeps the two vote counts separate. Source 1
