General elections were held in the Netherlands on 10 April 1894,<ref name=NS>Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p1395 Template:ISBN</ref> with a second round in 27 constituencies on 24 April.<ref name="Huygens"/> The Liberal Union and the dissident Free Liberals remained the largest group, winning 60 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.
Results
Several candidates ran in multiple districts. When they won in more than one seat they picked which seat to take. As a result, several by-elections took place shortly after the general election, leading to the Liberal Union having 32 seats in total, the Free Liberals 25, the ARP 7 seats and the Free Anti-Revolutionaries 8.
