How does it comes that the "Memel Territory Party" won "all" 6 out of 7 seats? I also feel like its actually Memel Agricultural Party which appearently won 3 MPs (August Milbrecht, from Pogegen, Johann Schuischel from Memel and George Waschkies from Heydekrug). While the "People's Party of Klaipėda" (alternate translation for the Memel People's Party or Klaipėdos krašto tautos partija) won 2 MPs (Robert Grabow & Max Jagstaidt) which would also be proportional since both parties have roughly 19-21k votes.
I've removed the unsourced table of seats by region (the same editor that added it recently also added some faked election results to another article that were copied from another language wiki).
[1] the source for the 1920 election confirms the numbers from Nohlen but MLP shouldnt have 6 seats per proportional voting since they only have a lead of 2 seats Braganza (talk) 16:01, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Karsten11 and Number 57: Kinder ran in 1922 in Constituency I unlike 1920 & 1926 where he ran in II [2]
Lithuanian German Committee only ran in II, Union of Evangelical Lutherans ran in I & III (p.78 of the source in the message above) so i propose to combine them in 1922
Union of Evangelical Lutherans in 1923 was actually called Evangelikų liuterių/Liste des luthériens (p.81) and might be a different party and should be renamed
In 1926, he ran on the German Evangelical Party list (lrs) and won the seat, appearently he split from Union of Evangelical Lutherans by that point Braganza (talk) 16:43, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So which seat is his party listed under in this election (as the table has the German Evangelical Party winning 0 seats)? Cheers, Number5718:33, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes
i tried to reconstruct the results per constituency but failed. The Seimas doesnt say for which district Toliušis, Sugintas, Raulinaitis, Kairys & Voldemaras were actually elected from and there are a few odd/impossible cases:
Mironas was elected for I even though LTS didnt run there?, LSDP got 3 seats with 19% and LKD won 4 with 17% (tbf Kairys might be the missing one)
LTS & LDF dont have confirmed MPs from IV even though they got 10%+ (but Raulinaitis might have won the seat for LDF, he ran in both IV & VI)
In V, LDF won 9% but only one MP while Farmers' Association won 3 with 10.7%
In VI, Farmers' Party won one MP (Skipitis) with 0.5%?! LSDP also won only one with 15%?!
