This article employs the research on electoral structure and women's access to office as a context for examining alternative routes for women's access to parliamentary seats. Using the cases of France (1981) and Italy (1983), it focuses on a pre-election strategy for replacing elected male nominees who accept seats in other electoral districts or who accept cabinet positions. Possibilities for this type of strategic nomination of women exist in both political systems (through suppléant and subentrata provisions). Only in Italy have these alternative routes to parliament been used extensively. The article concludes with speculations about electoral system research and women's access to national elective office
