Legislative elections to elect the 61 members of the Corsican Assembly were held on 12 August 1984, two years after the creation and first elections of the legislature. The election followed the dissolution of the Corsican Assembly in June 1984 due to budget disagreements and a chaotic and divisive landscape within the assembly, due largely to the existence of numerous parties with no clear majority to rule.
