The elections were held under the Constitutional Charter of 1826, [2] and in accordance with a decree issued on 28 April 1845. [1] Members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected in an indirect system in which voters elected provincial assemblies, who in turn elected members of the Chamber. [2]
The 142 members of the Chamber of Deputies included 119 representing the mainland and 10 representing islands (all elected in multi-member constituencies), with another 13 representing overseas colonies (three elected in single-member constituencies and ten in multi-member constituencies). [1]
The result was a victory for the Cabralistas, with Miguelistas advising voters to boycott the elections. [1] The opposition won only six seats in Alentejo. [1]
