1860 Dutch general election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Partial general elections were held in the Netherlands on 12 and 26 June 1860 to elect 36 of the 72 seats in the House of Representatives.[1]

Electoral system

[edit]

Of the 72 seats in the House of Representatives, 9 were elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system.

The other 63 were elected using two-round plurality block voting in 29 constituencies from 2 to 6 seats. To be elected in the first round, a candidate had to reach an electoral threshold of 50% of the number of valid votes cast, divided by the number of seats up for election in the district.
