The 9th constituency of the Nord is a French legislative constituency in the Nord département.
Description
Nord's 9th constituency includes the north east of Lille and the south of Tourcoing as well as the suburb of Marcq-en-Barœul, which lies between the two. The canton of Lille Nord-Est was only added in the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies.
Politically the seat has been entirely consistent in its support of the Gaullist right since the inception of the 5th Republic.
