1919 Armenian parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Armenia between 21 and 23 June 1919. The electoral system used was party-list proportional representation using the D'Hondt method in one national district. The result was a landslide victory for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) which won 72 of the 80 seats. However, the elections were boycotted by the Hunchaks and Populists. Voter turnout was 71%. The first republic ended with the Soviet takeover the following year, and multi-party elections were not held again until 1995.
