French cantonal elections, 1982

"Cantonale" elections to renew canton general councillors were held in France on March 14 and 21, 1982. The left, in power since 1981, lost 8 and 98 seats to the right, which controlled 59 presidencies out of 95. The Socialists only lost 10 seats, but the Communists lost 45.

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.
