1903 Spanish General Election
26 April 1903 · The Restoration and the turno pacífico · 403 seats, 202 for a majority
A general election was held in Spain on 26 April 1903 (for the Congress of Deputies), and on 10 May 1903 (for the Senate), to elect the members of the 11th Cortes under the Spanish Constitution of 1876, during the Restoration period. All 403 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.
