Abstract: Eighteen Regional Citizens' Conferences (CCR) (13 in metropolitan regions and five in overseas departments and regions (DROM)) and one National Citizens' Conference dedicated to youth were held during the second phase of the Great National Debate (GDN) (either on March 15-16, 2019, or on March 22-23, 2019). A total of 1,404 people participated: 1,216 in the 13 metropolitan CCRs, 68 in the National Youth Conference (selected through a national lottery based on phone numbers), and 120 in the five DROM CCRs (recruited specifically for each of these territories). For mainland France, this was the largest "random selection" conducted to form a mini-public. This report first presents the recruitment process, commonly referred to as the "random selection." It then describes the observation protocol for the Conferences (set up by the Debate Observatory), as well as the process of administering the questionnaires (by the facilitation and research teams). We then compare the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants in the Citizens' Conferences with those of the population in France, which leads us to note that the Conferences were not representative of the population. Specifically, we observe an over-representation of men, people aged 35 to 64, executives/liberal professions, and intermediate professions in the metropolitan Citizens' Conferences. In contrast, certain population groups were under-represented among the participants in the metropolitan Conferences: women, young people aged 18 to 35, and manual workers. This lack of representativeness raises questions about the descriptive legitimacy of the Conferences. Finally, this document presents the (blank) questionnaires used by the facilitation and research teams, as well as the descriptive statistics of the responses given by the citizens to these questionnaires.
