# 2008 Paris municipal election, Paris secteur 12, first round

[France](https://electionsarchive.com/fr.md) / [Paris](https://electionsarchive.com/fr/paris.md), March 9, 2008

Michèle Blumenthal led with 46.1% of the vote, 21.8 points ahead of Jean-Marie Cavada.

> The ministry's file for 2008 gives each list's city council and arrondissement council seats as one combined figure, so no seats are recorded for the sectors.

> Paris, Lyon, and Marseille elect their councils by sector. Each sector holds its own list election under the municipal list rules, and one ballot fills two sets of seats: the sector's share of the city council, and the additional members of the sector's arrondissement council. Each sector's city council seats are recorded here as a contest of the city council for that sector.
