1937 Romanian Legislative Election
20 December 1937 · Greater Romania and the electoral bonus · 387 seats
National Liberal Party finished first with 152 of 387 seats on 36.5% of the vote. Turnout 66.1%. Octavian Goga replaced Gheorghe Tătărescu.
No party reached the 40% threshold for the automatic majority bonus, and King Carol II handed the government to the fourth-placed, antisemitic National Christian Party rather than to the plurality winner.
