1910 French legislative election
Legislative elections were held in France on 24 April and 8 May 1910. The elections resulted in a huge victory for the governing coalition of Radicals and Left Republicans (in large part due to the effective merger of the Radicals and Independent Radicals), allowing the incumbent premier Aristide Briand to form a second government.
