Partial general elections were held in the Netherlands on 12 and 26 June 1860 to elect 36 of the 72 seats in the House of Representatives. ^[1]

Electoral system

Of the 72 seats in the House of Representatives, 9 were elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system.

The other 63 were elected using two-round plurality block voting in 29 constituencies from 2 to 6 seats. To be elected in the first round, a candidate had to reach an electoral threshold of 50% of the number of valid votes cast, divided by the number of seats up for election in the district.
