Parliamentary elections were held in Portugal on 17 and 31 July 1836. [1]
The elections were held under the Constitutional Charter of 1826 and the Electoral Law of 7 August 1826. These provided for a bicameral parliament, the Cortes Gerais, with an elected Chamber of Deputies and a Chamber of Most Worthy Peers whose members were appointed by the monarch or were members of the nobility. [2] The elections were indirect, with voters electing provincial assemblies, who in turn elected members of the Chamber of Deputies. [2] Voting and candidature were restricted to those who met income requirements. [2] The number of Deputies was reduced from 143 in 1834 to 141, with 132 elected from multi-member constituencies on the mainland and islands, and nine from single-member constituencies in overseas colonies.

The result was a victory for the ruling Cartistas, who won 79 seats. The opposition won 30 seats. [1]
