1919 Armenian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held for the first (and only) time in the First Republic of Armenia between 21 and 23 June 1919. The electoral system used was party-list proportional representation using the D'Hondt method in one national district.[1] The result was a landslide victory for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation which won 72 of the 80 seats. However the election was boycotted by the Hunchaks and Populists.[2] Voter turnout was 71.2%.[3]
