## History, geography and demography

According to the division into constituencies by the law n°86-1197 of 24 November 1986, the 3rd constituency of Vaucluse included six cantons : Bédarrides, Carpentras-Nord, Carpentras-Sud, Mormoiron, Pernes-les-Fontaines, Sault. According to the national census conducted in 1999 by the French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), the total population of the constituency was estimated at 127,749 inhabitants.
Approved in February 2010 by the Constitutional Council of France, the redistricting of electoral boundaries came into effect from the 2012 legislative elections. Ratified on 21 January 2010 by the Parliament of France, the ordonnance n°2009-935 of 29 July 2009 reduced the area of the constituency.
Stretched over 345.72 km$^2$ (133.48 sq mi), the 3rd constituency consists of three cantons and fifteen municipalities: Bédarrides (Bédarrides, Courthézon, Sorgues, Vedène), Carpentras-Sud (Althen-des-Paluds, southern part of Carpentras, Entraigues-sur-la-Sorgue, Mazan, Monteux), Pernes-les-Fontaines (Le Beaucet, Pernes-les-Fontaines, La Roque-sur-Pernes, Saint-Didier, Velleron, Venasque). After the boundary changes, the population of the constituency amounted to 96,291 inhabitants in 2008 and 97,206 inhabitants in 2009.
