text: # Var's 7th constituency
  
  The 7th constituency of the Var (French: Septième circonscription du Var) is a French legislative constituency in the Var département. Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using the two-round system, with a run-off if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the first round.
  
  ## Description
  
  The 7th constituency of the Var lies in the south west of the department and includes the town La Seyne-sur-Mer opposite Toulon's harbour.
  
  In common with other seats in the department this constituency had a tradition of voting for centre right candidates until 2017 when it swung behind Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition.
