The franchise and territorial boundaries differed from present-day France; women were excluded from these national elections. Shared source votes are recorded once for the combined political group. Popular votes refer to the first round; seats are the final distribution after all rounds. Figures retain the cited table’s historical groupings and territory; they should not be treated as a reconciled modern nationwide party dataset.
