The Chamber of Deputies of the Ottoman Empire (Turkish: Meclis-i Mebusan) was the lower house of the Parliament of the Ottoman Empire.
First Constitutional Era
In the First Constitutional Era, which only lasted for two years, the initial selection of deputies ("Mebusan") was made by administrative councils in the provinces ("Meclis-i Umumi").
After the establishment of the "Meclis-i Umumi" in the provinces, the members selected the deputies from within the "Meclis-i Umumi" to form the "Meclis-i Mebusan" in the capital. The Meclis-i Mebusan had 115 members and reflected the distribution of the millets in the empire. In the second elections there were 69 Muslim millet representatives and 46 representatives of other millets (Jews, Phanariotes, Armenians).
