Candidate universe
The working field, exactly as the frozen specification records it. Statuses are the specification's own five terms, and each row carries the date on which its status was asserted — which is not the date it was loaded.
This entire table is replaced on the day the Conseil constitutionnel publishes the official list, expected around 15 March 2027. Nothing here is a prediction that a person will stand.
