General elections were held in Italy on 16 November 1919.[1] The fragmented Liberal governing coalition lost the absolute majority in the Chamber of Deputies, due to the success of the Italian Socialist Party and the Italian People's Party.
A new election law had expanded the voting rights to a larger section of the population and established a proportional representation system.[2]
