1910 Spanish General Election
8 May 1910 · The Restoration and the turno pacífico · 404 seats, 203 for a majority
A general election was held in Spain on 8 May 1910 (for the Congress of Deputies), and on 22 May 1910 (for the Senate), to elect the members of the 14th 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.
