List of French MPs from Cochinchina
Cochinchina , the southern third of Vietnam , was a colony of France from 1862 to 1949 . During the Third Republic , from 1881 to 1940, the colony had the right to send a deputy to the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house of the National Assembly ). The other French colonies also had the same rights, but not the other parts of French Indochina ( Annam , Tonkin , Cambodia, Laos), as these were protectorates that were formally not part of the French state.
Only French men who were registered in the electoral roll were eligible to vote, not Vietnamese. The number of voters was therefore relatively small: In the first election in 1881 1,398 French were eligible to vote, in the last election in 1936 the two candidates received a total of 3,128 votes.
The following list of French MPs from Cochinchina includes everyone who represented the colony in the Chamber of Deputies.
