All Russia elections

October 1907 Imperial Russian Legislative Election

Stolypin's tamed Duma

October 1907 · The imperial Dumas · 442 seats, 223 for a majority

In June 1907, the Duma was forcibly dissolved by the Russian government, and some of its deputies arrested. Following the dissolution, the laws regarding elections were amended to favour wealthy pro-government Russians.

Held under the June 1907 electoral law, drastically re-weighted toward landowners and the wealthy — a franchise engineered to produce a loyal chamber.
