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

Electoral Process

The elections to the fourth State Duma were conducted on Electoral Law 1907, which were the same laws as the third State Duma had been elected under in the October 1907 Russian legislative election.

Results

Around 51% of those elected were nobles, the highest during the Tsarist era. 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.

Aftermath

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