Composition of the Chamber of Deputies |
The 1830 general election was an election to the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the French Parliament. The first round was held on 5 and 13 July 1830, the second round on 19 July.
The Chamber was constituted by the Charter of 1814 and deputies were elected for five years, with one-fifth to be re-elected each year.
The voting method, which was used for the last time, was the Loi du double vote ("double voting") as defined in June 1820, combining single-member districts for three-fifths of the deputies, elected by 94,000 registered voters, with at-large voting in each of the departments of France for the remaining seats. This meant that many men could vote twice.[1]
The election of 1830 was organized during the reign of Charles X of France, but the work of the Chamber proved to be almost entirely under the new July Monarchy, which it created.
