1917 Dutch general election

General elections were held in the Netherlands on 15 June 1917 to elect members of the House of Representatives of the Dutch Parliament. The elections were held following the Pacification of 1917, an agreement between the seven parties with seats in parliament to allow a change in the constitution to introduce universal manhood suffrage and proportional representation. The parties cooperated to create a supermajority to pass the reforms. Voting did not take place in 50 constituencies where the incumbent ran unopposed.

In the other 50 constituencies with opposition candidates, voting was held on 15 June. The majoritarian two-round system was in effect and a second round was required only in the Amsterdam II constituency, which was held on 22 June,<ref name="results">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and saw Social Democratic Workers' Party candidate Adriaan Gerhard re-elected.
