Supplementary notes

* Unlike the previous elections and the following, the 1986 elections were held by proportional representation in one round. The election of deputies by proportional representation had in fact been adopted in 1985, during the first term of François Mitterrand. The results of these elections lead, for the first time in the history of the Fifth Republic, to a cohabitation. Once becoming Prime Minister, Jacques Chirac ended the proportional ballot for the legislative elections.
