General elections were held in the Netherlands on 17 June 1913, with a second round in some constituencies on 25 June. Despite receiving the third highest number of votes in the first round, the General League of Roman Catholic Electoral Associations emerged as the largest party, winning 25 of the 100 seats in the House of Representatives. After the election, the independent liberal Pieter Cort van der Linden became Prime Minister of the Netherlands, leading a cabinet of Liberals, Free-thinking Democrats, Christian Historicals and other independent liberals.
