1982 Mauritian general election

General elections were held in Mauritius on 11 June 1982. The election resulted in a landslide victory for the Mauritian Militant Movement–Mauritian Socialist Party alliance, which won all 60 of the directly elected mainland seats. Anerood Jugnauth became prime minister for the first time, replacing Seewoosagur Ramgoolam who had governed the country since its independence.

Ramgoolam had formed a coalition government in the aftermath of the previous election, composing of the Labour Party and the Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate, led by Gaëtan Duval. After several scandals that the government faced during its term, including economic mismanagement and postponement of elections, the government was defeated in a landslide, winning only a total of four best loser seats in the Legislative Assembly and none of its candidates were elected in any constituency.

The voting system involved twenty constituencies on Mauritius, which each elected three members. Two seats were elected by residents of Rodrigues, and up to eight seats were filled by the best losers system, although following this election, only four best loser seats were awarded. Voter turnout was 88.84%.

This election would be the first of three elections in which a party or an alliance received a 60-0 result, winning all of the elected mainland constituencies in Mauritius.

Ramgoolam received funding from the CIA during the election.
