|---|---|---|---|---|
| 81 seats to the European Parliament | ||||
| 14-17 June 1984 | ||||
In 1984 the second direct elections to the European Parliament were held in France. Four parties were able to win seats: an alliance of the centre right Union for French Democracy and the Gaullist Rally for the Republic, the Socialist Party and the French Communist Party, and the Front National. 56.7% of the French population turned out on election day.
The result was the first time the far-right Front National obtained important results- this time 10.8% and close to the declining French Communist Party.
