1901 Spanish General Election
19 May 1901 · The Restoration and the turno pacífico · 402 seats, 202 for a majority
A general election was held in Spain on 19 May 1901 (for the Congress of Deputies), and on 2 June 1901 (for the Senate), to elect the members of the 10th Cortes under the Spanish Constitution of 1876, during the Restoration period. All 402 seats in the Congress of Deputies were up for election, as well as 180 of 360 seats in the Senate.
A turno pacífico election: the result was largely arranged in advance through the Interior Ministry's encasillado and enforced locally by caciques. The recorded majorities describe the system, not free voting.
