1907 Spanish General Election

21 April 1907 · The Restoration and the turno pacífico · 404 seats, 203 for a majority

A general election was held in Spain on 21 April 1907 (for the Congress of Deputies), and on 5 May 1907 (for the Senate), to elect the members of the 13th Cortes under the Spanish Constitution of 1876, during the Restoration period. All 404 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.
