Provisional Electoral Regulations were issued on 29 October 1876, stating that the elected members of the Provincial Administrative Councils would elect members to the first Parliament of the Ottoman Empire.

A two-stage Ottoman election on a restricted franchise — an experiment in constitutionalism, not a modern democratic vote.
