The constituency is made up of the six
cantons of Amiens-I-Ouest, Amiens-III-Nord-Est, Amiens-V-Sud-Est, Amiens-VI-Sud, Amiens-VII-Sud-Ouest, and Boves. At the time of the 1999 census (which was the basis for
the most recent redrawing of constituency boundaries, carried out in 2010) the 2nd constituency had a total population of 99,427. It contains most of the city of
Amiens, plus the village of
Boves to its south-east, separated from the city by the Étang Saint-Ladre nature reserve. Politically the seat has historically favoured the right. Its only left-wing deputy before 2012 had been Jacques Fleury of the
PS. == Historic representation ==
