The elections of the State Elder in Estonia were scheduled for 22 and 23 April 1934. They were to take place on the basis of the new constitution that entered into force on 24 January of the same year and were the first direct head of state elections in the history of Estonia, as the previous heads of state were elected by the Riigikogu together with other members of the Estonian Government. However, the elections were never held due to a coup on 12 March by three of the four main candidates.
