The 2nd constituency of Oise is a French legislative constituency in the Oise département.

Description

The 2nd constituency of the Oise covers its western portion and borders Upper Normandy, it also includes the south western part of Beauvais.

Similarly to Oise's 1st constituency the seat has been a conservative stronghold since 1988 apart from the Socialist landslide at the 1997 election. At the 2012 election the vote was split by the presence of a National Front candidate in the second round but veteran Gaullist deputy Jean-François Mancel held on by less than 100 votes to claim victory.
