Federal elections were held in Germany on 25 January 1907. [1] Despite the Social Democratic Party (SPD) receiving a clear plurality of votes, they were hampered by the unequal constituency sizes that favoured rural seats. [2] As a result, the Centre Party remained the largest party in the Reichstag after winning 101 of the 397 seats, whilst the SPD won only 43. [3] Voter turnout was 84.7%. [4]
This election was known as the " Hottentot Election" due to the scandal over the ongoing genocide of the Khoisan people in German South West Africa. [5]
