Partial legislative elections were held in France on 4 and 13 November 1820.

Process

Only citizens paying taxes were eligible to vote. All electors elected three-fifths of all deputies in the first round. In the second round, the most heavily taxed voted again to elect the remaining two-fifths of deputies. Only around 94,000 people were eligible to vote.[https://web.archive.org/web/20111112191312/http://www.roi-president.com/elections_legislatives/legislatives_1820.php Elections Législative de la Restauration] Rois et Presidents
