Electoral system Following the July Revolution which brought King Louis-Philippe to power, new election laws were passed on 19 April 1831. Members were elected by first-past-the-post voting in 459 single-member constituencies. Although suffrage remained limited, the electorate was nearly doubled. Voters now needed to be at least twenty-five years old and to pay 200 francs in income taxes, down from 300 francs before the revolution. Professionals and public servants could vote if they paid at least 100 francs in taxes. The "double voting" system that allowed the wealthiest voters to vote twice was abolished. Candidates had to be at least thirty years old and pay at least 500 francs in taxes.Larché M.

Historians do not always agree on how to draw these lines: Thomas Beck gives a similar number for the pro-government representatives (273), but assigns far more of the opposition to the left (170), leaving only seven legitimists.Beck Thomas https://archive.org/details/frenchlegislator0000beck/ French legislators, 1800-1834: A Study in Quantitative History 1974 University of California Press Berkeley 187 17 June 2023 References Category:Legislative elections in France Legislative France
