Legislative elections were held in the Russian Empire in September 1912 to elect the 442 members of the fourth State Duma.[1]

## Results

[edit]

Around 51% of those elected were nobles, the highest during the Tsarist era.[1] Both the right- and left-wing increased their representation in the Duma; right-wing candidates won 153 seats and left-wingers 152, whilst the centrists, including the Union of October 17, were reduced to 130 seats.[1]

Party| Seats

|

| Russian Nationalist| 120
| Union of October 17| 98
| Extreme Rightist| 65
| Constitutional Democratic Party| 59
| Progressive Party| 48
| Minority Autonomists| 21
| Russian Social Democratic Labour Party| 14
| Trudoviks| 10
| Independents| 7
Total| 442

## Aftermath

[edit]

Following the elections, the Union of October 17 became an opposition party due to its harassment by the government during the election.[1]
