First-round popular votes and seat distribution from the historical source; elections used single-member constituencies with runoff ballots. Party families and minority groups are aggregated exactly as in the source, not presented as individual parties. Historical boundaries differ from present-day Germany. Voting was restricted to eligible men aged 25 and over. The imperial government was appointed by the monarch, rather than elected by parliamentary majority.
