1918 Estonian Constituent Assembly election

1918 elections in Estonia October 2011 Elections to the Estonian Constituent Assembly were held on 3–4 February 1918. In some electoral districts, the elections were postponed until 9–10 February. During the October Revolution in 1917, the Bolsheviks also took power in parts of Estonia, mostly in urban areas in Northern Estonia. Parts of Estonia were already occupied by Germany and the elections were not held in these areas. The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks) allowed the elections to be held, in hope of getting a majority of the votes. However, they achieved only 37% of the votes, leaving a majority for parties that supported Estonian independence. The Estonian Constituent Assembly was never convened after these elections, because the Communists annulled the elections and Germany occupied the rest of Estonia in the same February. New elections to the Constituent Assembly were held in 1919.XX sajandi kroonika, I osa; Eesti Entsüklopeediakirjastus, Tallinn, 2002; p. 167 Results Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks) 87113 Labourites 69931 Democratic Bloc 54504 Estonian Socialist Revolutionary Party (Left) 8317 Christian Union 5455 Estonian Social Democratic Workers' Party 4075 Estonian Socialist Revolutionary Party (Right) 2256 Union for Estonian Independents 1312 Democratic Organization of Russian Citizens 1197 234902 315026 Eesti NSV ajaloo küsimusi References autocollapse Category:Parliamentary elections in Estonia Constituent Estonia Category:Independence of Estonia Category:Annulled elections Estonia Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results
