[France](https://electionsarchive.com/fr.md) / [Picardie](https://electionsarchive.com/fr/region-picardie.md), March 14, 2010

Claude Gewerc led with 26.64% of the vote, 0.70 points ahead of Caroline Cayeux.

> The ministry's file by commune and its file by département are separate publications and differ slightly: no total or list's votes here differs from the département result set by up to 3 votes.

> No list won an absolute majority, so no seats were allocated in this round. Lists that stood again in the second round under the same head of list are marked as advancing; lists with at least 10 percent of the valid votes that did not are marked as withdrawn, whether or not they merged into another list.

> Results by region from the Interior Ministry's results file. The ministry's figures by département, loaded as a second result set, add up exactly to these totals.

> Results by commune from the Interior Ministry's results file for the election, which the ministry published separately from its file by département.
