2008 French Senate election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indirect Senate elections were held for 114 of the 343 seats in the French Senate on 21 September 2008.[1] With this election, the number of senators was increased from 331 to 343; Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin elected two senators each for the first time. Furthermore, this election was the last to be held under the old system: prior to this election, senators were elected in three classes for nine-year terms. Under the new system instituted in 2011, senators are elected for six-year terms in two classes.[2]
