Parliamentary elections were held for the first (and only) time in the First Republic of 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.[1] The result was a landslide victory for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation which won 72 of the 80 seats. However the election was boycotted by the Hunchaks and Populists.[2] Voter turnout was 71.2%.[3]
