From 2004 to 2019, there were eight European Parliament constituencies in France. Since the 2019 European Parliament election, there has been a single constituency covering the whole country.[1]
The constituencies all used the party-list proportional representation with the highest average method from their creation to their abolition. French citizens living abroad were added to the Île-de-France constituency in 2014.[citation needed]
The table below shows the changes to France's European Parliament constituencies over time, listing the numbers of Members of the European Parliament each elected at each European Parliamentary election.
