Explanations

As in all elections before the introduction of proportional representation , which is customary today, in 1919, majority voting was applied. For this purpose the country was divided into 47 national council constituencies of different sizes , in which one to five seats were to be allocated. The so-called Romance majority vote was used , in which a candidate needed an absolute majority of the votes cast in order to be elected. Each voter had as many votes as there were seats to be allocated. Up to three ballots were necessary in individual constituencies.

In the cantons of Appenzell Ausserrhoden , Appenzell Innerrhoden , Glarus , Obwalden , Nidwalden and Uri , the election was made by the respective regional municipality . For this reason, exact results are not available.

• Constituency: The constituencies were numbered consecutively, in the order of the cantons in the Swiss Federal Constitution . Due to the changing number of constituencies over the years, some received a new number several times. Therefore the following articles have a lemma with an unofficial geographical name.
• Selected candidates are highlighted in bold , candidates not selected are highlighted in italics

Parties

Allocation of candidates to parties and political groups is only possible to a limited extent, as they did not run on official party lists. According to the political reality of the 19th century, one can speak more of party currents or directions. The party names used are therefore an ideological assessment.

• FL = liberal left ( liberal , radical, radical democrats)
• LM = Liberal Middle (Liberals, Liberal Democrats)
• KK = Catholic Conservative
• ER = Evangelical Rights (Evangelical / Reformed Conservatives)
• DL = Democratic Left (extreme left, democrats )
