Electoral system
The 30 elected members of the Althing were elected from single or double member constituencies by a three-round system; in the first two rounds, a candidate receiving a majority of the vote was elected; if seats were still unfilled after the second round, a third round was held using first-past-the-post voting.The Evolution of Electoral and Party Systems in the Nordic Countries Arend Lijphart & Bernard Grofman 2007 Algora Publishing 103 978-0-87586-168-5 https://books.google.com/books?id=oigZTGYdQb4C&pg=PA103 Voting took place at a single polling place in each constituency and was done publicly.

Suffrage was limited to men aged 25 or over who were not in receipt of poor relief and who met one of several set requirements including being a civil servant, being a graduate of a university or seminary, or meeting various tax criteria (for farmers, paying more than the minimum tax; for burghers or fishermen, paying eight króna of local taxes; for property owners, paying twelve króna of local property taxes). This limited the number of voters to 7,329 from a population of 78,203.
