The constituency includes the southern and eastern suburbs of Strasbourg stretching to the border with Germany. The majority of the seat is contained within the town of Strasbourg, however it also contains a substantial portion of the Commune of Illkirch-Graffenstaden. Three of the five cantons are held by the PS. Parties of the right have generally held the seat during the Fifth Republic, however the PS has captured the seat on two occasions most recently in 2012. After being won by the centrist LREM party in 2017, it was gained by the left-wing LFI as part of the NUPES alliance in 2022.
