Résumé The [french] ecologist electorate and industrial risks. Philippe Bonnetain, Daniel Boy. Political ecology has been present in France in the electoral field, with varying success, for about twenty years. A statistical and geographical analysis of its electoral results shows that there has been for a long time a relatively stable ecologist electoral structure. What is the significance of this structuring of a political phenomenon outside traditional politics ? While it is true that voters vote for ecology to promote policies of environmental defense, one could expect the frequency of such votes to be higher in areas where the environment is objectively threatened more than elsewhere. To verify this hypothesis, the ecologist vote is related statistically to objective indicators of the state of the environment in the various departments (pollution rate, intensity of industrial risks, etc.). The statistical analysis shows that in fact the expected relation is absent, and that votes for ecology are linked only to political factors (tapping a fraction of the Socialist Party's electorate) and to economic factors (a low unemployment rate).
