History

The arrondissement of Niort was created in 1800.[3] At the January 2018 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Deux-Sèvres, it lost 21 communes to the arrondissement of Parthenay.[4]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Niort were, as of January 2015:[5]

  1. Beauvoir-sur-Niort
  2. Brioux-sur-Boutonne
  3. Celles-sur-Belle
  4. Champdeniers-Saint-Denis
  5. Chef-Boutonne
  6. Coulonges-sur-l'Autize
  7. Frontenay-Rohan-Rohan
  8. Lezay
  9. Mauzé-sur-le-Mignon
  10. Melle
  11. La Mothe-Saint-Héray
  12. Niort-Est
  13. Niort-Nord
  14. Niort-Ouest
  15. Prahecq
  16. Saint-Maixent-l'École-1
  17. Saint-Maixent-l'École-2
  18. Sauzé-Vaussais

gollark: I figure that for the US you would get some *some* improvements out of a saner voting system.
gollark: My view is generally that quite a lot of political/economic problems are really hard to do anything about and cannot be trivially solved by doing something to some scapegoat.
gollark: Just saying "prevent corruption" isn't a very useful thing to say, I mean, since most people don't like it but can hardly do much about it.
gollark: That sounds more like a vague goal than something actionable.
