1951 French legislative election in Algeria

none Elections to the National Assembly of France were held in Algeria on 17 June 1951. Algeria had 30 of the 625 at the National Assembly. These legislative elections were the last ones organized in Algeria under the Fourth Republic, in 1956 it was deemed impossible to organize elections in the midst of the Algerian War. The last French legislative elections organized in Algeria before independence were held in 1958. Electoral system July 2025 As for the Algerian Assembly elected in 1948 and for the previous French legislative elections in 1945 and 1946, there were two electoral colleges, which each elected 15 deputies; one for the 1.5 million French citizens who were subject to French civil law (mainly people of European descent, plus those Algerian Jews who had been granted citizenship under the Crémieux Decree, and a few thousand Algerian Muslims who had been granted this status at their request when they became subject to French civil law), and another one for the millions of people who before 1946 had the civil status of indigénat. This was a legal status, and could not be changed simply by religious conversion. In 1946 the Lamine Guèye law Lamine Guèye law fr Loi Lamine Guèye had given equal French citizenship and voting rights to the second group, subject to their voting in the second college, and with the right to vote of women citizens to be organised by the Algerian Assembly. However, the Assembly never started to discuss the matter. Results The Second College elections, like the Algerian Assembly election of 1948, were rigged by the colonial administration to the detriment of the three anticolonial parties, the Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties, the Democratic Union of the Algerian Manifesto and the Algerian Communist Party.see e.g. a French official source from 1988: Ahmed Aït-Ali, in Dictionnaire des parlementaires français de 1940 à 1958, La documentation française (Paris), vol. 1.
