Parliamentary elections were held in Latvia on 7 and 8 October 1922. [1] The Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party remained the largest party, winning 30 of the 100 seats. [2]
For the elections the country was divided into five constituencies, electing a total of 97 MPs using proportional representation. The three remaining seats were awarded to the parties with the highest vote totals that had failed to win a seat in any of the five constituencies. [3]
The list system used was made flexible, as voters were able to cross out candidates' names and replace them with names from other lists. [3] However, only 19.97% of voters made any changes to the lists. [3] To register a list for the election parties needed only collect 100 signatures. [4] A total of 88 lists registered, but only 43 contested the election. [4] There was no voter roll, but instead passports were used to identify voters. [3]
