1877 Dutch general election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Partial general elections were held in the Netherlands on 12 June 1877 to elect 40 of the 80 seats in the House of Representatives.[1]
Electoral system
Of the 80 seats in the House of Representatives, 8 were elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system.
The other 72 were elected using two-round plurality block voting in 33 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.
