- French legislative election, February 1871
French legislative elections to elect the first legislature of the French Third Republic were held on February 8, 1871.
This election was held during an explosive situation in the country: following the Franco-Prussian War, 43 departments were occupied. Thus, all public meetings were outlawed. Only Paris could have an actual electoral campaign.
This election allowed candidates to run in more than one riding at a time. Originally planned to accommodate 765 deputies, this number was reduce as some candidates were elected in more than one ridings. In fact, Adolphe Thiers had been elected in 86 ridings.
This election saw the victory of monarchists (Legitimists, Orleanists) favourable to peace with the German Empire win a large majority.
