The Difference Between The 1912 and 1919 German Election

 Vote-wise?  

1919: 30.4-million total votes

1912: 12.2-million total votes

Why the difference?  Well....two things occurred by 1919. First.....women in Germany were given the right to vote.  Second, the voting age was lowered.....so if you were 20-to-24.....male or female....you now had the right to vote.

I should point this out as well....the total number of seats in the Bundestag for 1912.....were 397....divided among 21 parties.

For 1919, there were 421 total Bundestag seats....among 10 parties.
