Federal elections were held in Germany on 19 January 1919,〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p762 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7〕 although members of the standing army in the east voted for their representatives only on 2 February. The elections were the first of the new Weimar Republic following World War I and the Revolution of 1918–19. It was also the first German election held using proportional representation and with women's suffrage. It is also reckoned as the first truly free and fair all-German election, as it was the first to be held after the scrapping of the old constituencies that grossly over-represented rural areas. The voting age was lowered to 20 from 25 in the last Reichstag election of 1912. Austrian citizens living in Germany were allowed to vote, in the same way that German citizens living in Austria were also allowed to vote in the Austrian Constitutional Assembly election in the same year.〔(Austria votes today. – German Part of Former Dual Monarchy Chooses Its Constituent Assembly. ), ''The New York Times'', 16 February 1919 (PDF)〕 From its inaugural session on 6 February, the National Assembly (''Nationalversammlung'') functioned as both a constituent assembly and unicameral legislature. On 13 February, provisional ''Reichspräsident'' (President) Friedrich Ebert appointed Philipp Scheidemann ''Reichsministerpräsident'' (Minister President, the office was renamed Chancellor only when the Weimar Constitution came into force in August 1919). Scheidemann's government replaced the revolutionary ''Rat der Volksbeauftragten'' (Council of the People's Deputies). The supporting parties of the "Weimar Coalition" (SPD, Zentrum and DDP) together won 76.2% of the votes cast. Voter turnout was 83.0%.〔Nohlen & Stöver, p776〕 ==Results== }} }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「German federal election, 1919」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
