General elections were held in the Netherlands on 17 June 1913,[1] with a second round in some constituencies on 25 June.[2] Despite receiving the fourth highest number of votes in the first round,[3] the General League of Roman Catholic Caucuses emerged as the largest party, winning 25 of the 100 seats in the House of Representatives.[4] After the election, the independent liberal Pieter Cort van der Linden became Prime Minister of the Netherlands, leading a cabinet of Liberals, Free-thinking Democrats, Christian Historicals and other independent liberals.
