The 2024 European Parliament elections in France were held on 9 June 2024, as part of the 2024 European Parliament election.
Background The Borne government lost its majority in the 2022 French legislative election.
Electoral system A bill creating a single national constituency was approved by the National Assembly in a vote on the first reading on 20 February 2018, and the Senate officially adopted the bill on 23 May 2018, which was promulgated on 25 June after its validation by the Constitutional Council.
French members of the European Parliament are elected through a closed list proportional representation system.
Apportionment
When the United Kingdom left the European Union in January 2020, 46 of Britain's 73 seats were abolished and 27 seats were reapportioned to other countries. As a result, the total number of MEPs decreased from 751 seats to 705.
For the 2024 election, the European Parliament was increased to 720 MEPs with France receiving two new seats.
