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]}
