August 1916 Icelandic parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Iceland on 5 August 1916,[1] the first elections held after women's suffrage was introduced.[2] Following reforms to the Althing the previous year, the six seats in the Upper House appointed by the monarch were abolished, and replaced with six elected seats.[2] The seats were elected by proportional representation at the national level, using the D'Hondt method.[2] The remaining eight seats were elected along with the Lower House in October.
