  • Les élections régionales françaises de 1998 ont lieu le 15 mars 1998 dans les 22 régions de France métropolitaine et dans les 4 régions d'Outre-mer. Dans la plupart des régions, aucune force politique ne remporte de majorité absolue. Lors de l'élection des présidents de région, quatre élus de droite acceptent le soutien du Front national, ce qui crée une importante controverse. La droite conserve 14 présidences sur 22 en métropole. La gauche progresse par rapport aux précédentes élections en remportant huit présidences contre seulement deux auparavant. Ces élections régionales sont les dernières au scrutin proportionnel à un tour. À partir des élections suivantes, le mode de scrutin est modifié afin de permettre de dégager des majorités. (fr)
