Overseas Territories of France (European Parliament constituency)

For elections in the European Union, Overseas Territories (French: Circonscription Outre-Mer) was a European Parliament constituency in France until the 2019 European Parliament election. It consisted of all the inhabited French overseas departments and collectivities (including the sui generis overseas territory of New Caledonia, but excluding the non-permanently inhabited overseas territories that have no registered voters), even if their territory is not part of the European Union. Constitutionally, all French citizens are also granted the same European citizenship, consequently all of them elected representatives in the European Parliament, independently of their area of residence.

In 2019, France decided to switch to a single constituency for EU elections, putting an end to all regional constituencies, including the Overseas Territory of France constituency.

The aim of the single constituency was to advance participation and electoral equality. Critics claimed that participation did not increase and that overseas territories became less represented.. The number of overseas MEPs was unchanged, however, at 3."Européennes 2024: Les Réunionnais Younous Omarjee et Marie-Luce Brasier-Clain, le Guadeloupéen Rody Tolassy sont les trois députés ultramarins à siéger au Parlement européen".
