Municipal elections were held in French Algeria in November 1919 to elect municipal councils in cities.[1]

Electoral Body

The electoral body of the Algerian natives was charged in these elections with designating the Muslim municipal councilors in the 281 communes of full exercise in Algeria.[2][3]

The results of this elective representation of Muslims in the municipal councils was to increase from a quarter to a third of the total membership of the councils and the total number of their municipal councilors was thus increased by around 65%, from 390 to 1,540.[4][5]
