1918–1921

The first two elections were not held as elections to the Dáil. The 1918 result refers to the Irish results in the British general election, treated by Sinn Féin as the election for the First Dáil. The 1921 election refers to the separate elections to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland and the House of Commons of Northern Ireland, treated by Sinn Féin as elections to the Second Dáil.
