Politics
[edit]Administrative and electoral affiliations
[edit]Administrative ties
[edit]The commune is located in the Senlis district of the Oise department.
From 1793 to 1973, it was the capital of the canton of Creil, the year in which the town was divided between the cantons of Creil-Nogent-sur-Oise (which included the districts of the right bank and the communes of Nogent-sur-Oise and Villers-Saint-Paul ) and Creil-Sud (which covered all the districts of the left bank). As part of the 2014 canton redistricting in France, this territorial administrative constituency disappeared, and the canton is now only an electoral constituency.
Electoral affiliations
[edit]For departmental elections, the town has been the central office for the new canton of Creil since 2014, made up of only two communes, the other being Verneuil-en-Halatte. For the election of deputies, the city is divided between the third constituency of Oise (former canton of Creil-Sud ) and the seventh constituency of Oise .
Inter-commune relations
[edit]Creil was the seat of the Creil agglomeration community (CAC), created at the end of 2001, which included 4 communes
Political trends and results
[edit]The commune of Creil is marked by a left-wing and particularly socialist leaning based on electoral results. Thus, in the 2007 presidential electio , Ségolène Royal obtained a vote share of 38.20% in the first round against 22.20% for Nicolas Sarkozy while no other left-wing candidate exceeded 5% and the socialist candidate obtained 60.5% in the second round. On the other hand, there is a difference between the two electoral constituencies which share the commune, with a more right-wing tendency for the western districts. In the 2007 legislative elections, in the 3rd constituency, the socialist candidate received 33.23% of the vote in the first round and 60.46% in the second round. On the other hand, in the 7th constituency, the UMP candidate, elected in the first round by the entire constituency, obtained 37.12% of the votes in the commune against 24.12% for the socialist candidate.
