1920 German federal election
Federal elections were held in Germany on 6 June 1920. Territorial disputes meant that voting was delayed in East Prussia and Schleswig-Holstein until 20 February 1921, and until 19 November 1922 in Oppeln.[1] The Social Democratic Party remained the largest party in the Reichstag although it lost over a third of its seats.[2] Voter turnout was about 79.2%.[3]
