Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Bulgaria on 5 June 1911 to elect members of the V Grand National Assembly. The result was a victory for the ruling People's Party–Progressive Liberal Party alliance, which won 342 of the 410 seats. Voter turnout was 54.0%.

Results

Several MPs were elected in more than one constituency and were required to choose which one to represent when the Assembly convened, resulting in twelve seats being vacated. By-elections were not held.

Aftermath

The ruling pro-Entente NP–PLP coalition led by Ivan Geshov won a majority and approved the constitutional changes prepared by the previous government, notably allowing the government and the monarch to approve secret treaties without Parliamentary oversight. Afterwards the Grand Assembly dissolved itself and Tsar Ferdinand scheduled elections for an Ordinary National Assembly for September.
