The 1906 general election was held on 6 and 20 May 1906.
The elections produced an increased majority for the governing coalition between the Radicals (PRRRS) and the left Republicans (ARD), which had held power under the premierships of Maurice Rouvier and Ferdinand Sarrien since January 1905.
Sarrien resigned on 20 October for reasons of health. Georges Clemenceau, also a Radical, replaced him, and remained premier until July 1909, after which he went on to become one of the longest-serving French Prime Ministers. The Bloc des gauches formally dissolved with Clemenceau's coming to power.
Electoral System
By the law of 13 February 1889 [fr], French legislative elections would take place utilising a first past the post system to elect one deputy in each constituency to the Chamber of Deputies (France), with some arrondissements being divided into multiple constituencies, though most containing only one.[1]

Notes
- ^ The Bloc des gauches had been formed as a coalition of the French parliamentary left to contend the 1902 French legislative election. The Socialist Party (and later the French Section of the Workers International) left the alliance in 1904, but the coalition continued to function until the ascension of Georges Clemenceau in October 1906.
- ^ The Independent Socialists are not always included, so this number may also be cited as 337.
