On October 9, 2026, the socialist left primary was disrupted by a bot cyberattack as soon as voting opened at 8 AM, saturating the e-votez online voting platform. The three participating organizations, the Socialist Party, Place publique, and the Republican and Socialist Left, have filed a legal complaint and assure voters that ballot integrity was not compromised.

Five candidates are running: Olivier Faure, Raphaël Glucksmann, Jérôme Guedj, Emmanuel Maurel, and Ségolène Royal.
