1877 French legislative election

Gaëtan de Rochebouët Independent Jules Dufaure Republican Left Legislative elections were held in France on 14 and 28 October 1877 to elect members of the Chamber of Deputies.

They were held during the Seize Mai crisis.

President Patrice de MacMahon dissolved the Chamber of Deputies elected in 1876, in the hope of a conservative and royalist victory.

The elections proved a serious setback for those hoping for a restoration of the monarchy, such as MacMahon.

MacMahon resigned, and the Republican Jules Grévy was elected president by the National Assembly.
