French cantonal elections, 1988
- French cantonal elections, 1988
"Cantonale" elections to renew canton general councillors were held in France on September 25 and October 2, 1988. Abstention exploded to 50.9% in the first round and 53% in the runoff, likely due to the election being the third held that here after the presidential and legislative elections. The right narrowly won, with 50.3% to 49.6% to the left. However, the status quo prevailed.
Electoral System
The cantonales elections use the same system as the regional or legislative elections. There is a 10% threshold (10% of "registered" voters) needed to proceed to the second round.
