Partial general elections were held in the Netherlands on 13 June 1871 to elect 40 of the 80 seats in the House of Representatives. [1]
Of the 80 seats in the House of Representatives, 8 were elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system.
The other 72 were elected using two-round plurality block voting in 33 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.
