Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 6 August 1871.
Background
editFollowing the promulgation of the 1869 constitution, elections were held in 1870 for an extraordinary Legislative Assembly to pass legislation that conformed to the new constitution.[1]
It was dissolved after completing its work, which included a new electoral law setting the size of the National Assembly at 115 members, of which 97 were to be elected and 18 appointed by the monarch.[1]
Aftermath
editThe newly elected Assembly convened for the first time on 5 September. Živko Karabiberović became president of the National Assembly while Josif Pančić became vice-president.[1]
