Prior to independence, under French administration, women were granted the right to vote on 27 October 1946 with foundation of the French Union, the 4th Republic and the attribution of the status of territoire d'outre-mer to Djibouti the same year. Following the "Loi Lamine Guèye" all citizens of the Union territories had the right to vote for the French Parliament. This right was confirmed at independence.
