General elections to the Cortes Generales were held in Spain in 1834. At stake were all 188 seats in the Congress of Deputies.
The 1834 elections were the first ones since 1822 and signalled the return of liberalism to Spain after the absolutist Década Ominosa.
The elections were held under the Spanish Royal Statute of 1834, [1] not under a full constitutional system. A first-past-the-post system was used with 48 multi-member constituencies and one single-member constituency.
Only around 18,000 people were allowed to vote, out of a population of 12 million.

The Congress of Deputies is the lower house of the Cortes Generales, Spain's legislative branch, the upper house being the Senate. The Congress meets in the Palace of the Parliament in Madrid.
The Senate is the upper house of the Cortes Generales, which along with the Congress of Deputies – the lower chamber – comprises the Parliament of the Kingdom of Spain.

Elections in Spain encompass four different types: general elections, regional elections, local elections, and elections to the European Parliament. General elections and regional elections are typically conducted at the conclusion of the national or regional legislative mandate, which usually spans four years since the previous election. However, early elections can be called in certain circumstances. On the other hand, local council elections and elections to the European Parliament follow fixed dates, although some local government bodies, such as provincial councils, are not directly elected. In most elections, a party-list proportional representation (PR) system is employed, while the Senate utilizes the plurality system.
In the United Kingdom (UK), each of the electoral areas or divisions called constituencies elects one member to the House of Commons.
