The third constituency for French residents overseas (French: Troisième circonscription des Français établis hors de France) is one of eleven constituencies representing French citizens living abroad. It was created by the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies and elects, since 2012, one representative to the National Assembly.
It represents all French citizens living in British Isles (United Kingdom, Ireland and Crown Dependencies in Manx Island and Channel Islands), Northern Europe and Eastern Europe (Baltic States). As of 2022, it contained 168,869 registered French voters.
Area
It covers all French citizens living in ten countries in Northern Europe - specifically, Iceland, Norway, Denmark (including the Faroe Islands and Greenland), Sweden, Finland (including Åland), Ireland, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. As of New Year's Day 2011, it contained 140,731 registered French voters. By far the greatest number of these (113,655) were living in the United Kingdom, the country with the third greatest number of registered French residents in the world. (In contrast, there were only 146 in Estonia, and just one in Greenland.)
This constituency elected its first ever representative at the 2012 French legislative election.
