Why these terms?
Declared Candidate means this person has publicly announced a presidential campaign. That announcement is a political act, not a legal validation: an Official Candidate appears only on the Constitutional Council's validated final ballot, which requires 500 sponsorships (parrainages) from elected officials. These labels describe different stages, not endorsements.
How ballot qualification worksProfile inclusion is not a declaration or a final validated ballot place. Declaration sources and qualifications are linked in the sources section at the bottom of this page.

01 / Trajectory
The record behind the name
- 01
Dupont-Aignan’s record includes national parliamentary service from 1997 to 2024 and local representation in Yerres. Debout la France is distinct from Ruffin’s Debout!, despite the shared word. Similar movement names should not create false organizational links.
02 / The issues
Where the candidate stands, issue by issue
Position statements are being compiled as campaign working papers, party resolutions, and public hearings are published.
03 / Critical reading
An interpretative reading of the official campaign apparatus: platform architecture, website aesthetics, poster design, colour, framing, iconography and the themes placed first on the candidate's homepage.
For any sovereignty proposal, ask which competence would move, what agreement would change and what consequences follow for workers and consumers. National independence is a political objective, not a complete implementation plan.
04 / Textual evidence
A quantitative, descriptive examination of the candidate's published textual corpus (official programs, campaign speeches, and communiqués) measuring lexical frequencies, key collocations, and thematic word densities.
Corpus CDA in progress: Lexicometric frequency extraction and concordance analysis are currently being compiled from official campaign publications. Statistical findings will appear here.
