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 Haute-Normandie, 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.
