  French presidential election, 1981 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surrounding the French presidential election of 1981 was an absolutely extraordinary set of circumstances that moved the France into a new phase of politics.
Giscard’s removal of power from his Prime Minister was one of the factors that led Chirac to run in the election of 1981, a decision that would ultimately determine the fate of the 1981 election.
Universal suffrage, direct election, and the introduction of the two-round, majority vote requirement played a large role in the election of 1981.

 Israel's Odd Couple: The 1984 Elections and the National Unity Government
In the 1981 elections Likud increased its parliamentary strength to 48 and formed the next government, also demonstrating that the 1977 results were not an accident but rather represented a basic shift in the country's distribution of political power.
The 1981 and 1984 elections indicated that while Labor's dominance was broken, its strength in Israeli society was by no means eliminated and that it remained a major force in Israeli political life.
This strength was demonstrated by Labor's comeback in the 1981 elections when it increased its electoral strength to 47 seats, its emergence in the 1984 elections as the strongest political party, and its constant lead in the opinion polls since the inception of the national unity government.

Later, during the campaign for the 1977 council elections, at a time when serious racial tensions existed in the City, the incumbent City Council members sponsored newspaper advertisements which the court found were "intended to alert the white population to the serious political challenge posed by fl Port Arthurians" (J.A. 66a).
That court permitted the election to proceed, however, and, on September 5, 1980, allowed the city to certify the city charter amendment for the "sole and limited purpose of complete submission" of the amendment to the court below in which the city's declaratory judgment action concerning the 8-0-1 plan was then pending.
In addition, the 1981 elections show that Precinct 33 of the City, which is a predominantly white community within District 5, obviously has voting interests very different from the majority in that District.

For the presidential election gives the number of votes, percent of party vote, and percent of national vote for each candidate in each party; gives by department the number of votes for each party; and for the congressional election gives the number of seats won by each party.
Congress agreed to hold separate elections for municipal authorities, but deputies will continue to be elected on the basis of the outcome in the presidential election.
However, many of the political leaders interviewed expect this change will have little impact, at least initially, on election outcomes because party loyalty runs strong in Honduras, and voters, particularly illiterate ones, are accustomed to voting for a party, or a presidential candidate, more than for deputies" (page 336).
