Partial legislative elections were held in France on 20 September 1817, during theSecond Restoration, to choose delegates to theChamber of Deputies. It was the first of three elections (the others coming in 1818 and 1819) under a new law that called for legislative elections to be held annually in one-fifth of the nation's departments.[1]
The election was a clear defeat for the Ultras, who lost all their seats.[2] Until then confined to a few individuals, the liberals, led by the bankerJacques Laffitte, constituted a second opposition group at the left of the Government.
