The 2014 European elections in France took place on May 24th and 25th, 2014 as part of the 2014 EU- wide European elections . In France, 74 out of 751 members of the European Parliament were elected, two more than in the 2009 European elections.
Electoral system
The election took place over two days, with May 24 only in the overseas territories of French Polynesia , Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon , Guadeloupe , Martinique , French Guiana , Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin , on May 25 throughout rest of France was chosen.
The seats were distributed proportionally according to the D'Hondt procedure with a threshold clause of 5 percent in eight constituencies . The number of seats per constituency is determined by decree before each election according to their population. With the exception of the two largest constituencies, with a share of the vote below 5 percent it would be practically impossible to obtain a mandate even without a threshold clause.
