1919 Armenian parliamentary election

1

Parliamentary elections were held in Armenia between 21 and 23 June 1919. The result was a landslide victory for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) which won 72 of the 80 seats. However, the elections were boycotted by the Hunchaks and Populists. Voter turnout was 71%. The first republic ended with the Soviet takeover the following year, and multi-party legislative elections were not held again until 1995. The ARF originally won 73 seats, but one seat was apparently assigned later to the Muslim faction, reducing the party's seat total to 72.

Electoral system

The 80 seats in the National Assembly were elected via closed party-list proportional representation using the D'Hondt method in one national district. All citizens over the age of 20 were eligible to participate.
