1914 Spanish General Election
8 March 1914 · The Restoration and the turno pacífico · 408 seats, 205 for a majority
A general election was held in Spain on 8 March 1914 (for the Congress of Deputies), and on 22 March 1914 (for the Senate), to elect the members of the 15th Cortes under the Spanish Constitution of 1876, during the Restoration period. All 408 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.
