General elections were held in the Netherlands on 9 June 1891,<ref name=NS>Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p1395 Template:ISBN</ref> with a second round in 25 constituencies on 23 June.<ref name="Huygens"/> The Liberal Union emerged as the largest party, winning 54 of the 100 seats in the House of Representatives.

Electoral system

Of the 100 seats in the House of Representatives, 79 were elected in single-member constituencies using the two-round system.

The other 21 were elected using two-round plurality block voting in 5 constituencies from 2 to 9 seats. To be elected in the first round, a candidate had to reach an electoral threshold of 50% of the number of valid votes cast, divided by the number of seats up for election in the district.
