Description

The constituency is made up of the six former cantons of Audincourt, Étupes, Hérimoncourt, Pont-de-Roide, Sochaux-Grand-Charmont, and Valentigney.[1]

It includes Audincourt and Valentigney, both of which are southern suburbs of Montbéliard, and extends into the Jura mountains reaching as far as the border with Switzerland.

At the time of the 1999 census (which was the basis for the most recent redrawing of constituency boundaries, carried out in 2010) the 4th constituency had a total population of 96,933.

The seat swung between left and right until its capture in 1997 by the future Minister of Finance Pierre Moscovici.

gollark: So what?
gollark: Removing the setfenving and passing the `environment` straight to `load` seems somehow to make it even more broken.
gollark: Doesn't work.
gollark: I have an environment table with new `fs` functions, and I want `loadfile` and `os.run` and whatever to use those.
gollark: Well, how am I supposed to make this work properly?
