General elections were held in the Netherlands on 15 June 1917 to elect members of the House of Representatives of the Dutch Parliament. The elections were held following an agreement between the seven parties with seats in parliament to allow a change in the constitution to introduce universal male suffrage and proportional representation. The parties cooperated to create a supermajority to pass the reforms. Voting did not take place in 50 constituencies where the incumbent ran unopposed. These seats were filled on 5 June.
In the other 50 constituencies with opposition candidates, voting was held on 15 June. The majoritarian two-round system was in effect and a second round was required in the Amsterdam II constituency, which was held on 22 June,[1] and saw Social Democratic Workers' Party candidate Adriaan Gerhard re-elected.
1,078,205 citizens were eligible to vote of which 230,310 cast a vote, representing a turnout of 21%.[2]
