1913 Dissauian General Election

The 1913 Dissauian General Election was held on the 13th of September 1913 and was the 18th legislative election in Dissau. It was called by Prime Minister, Erik Hanshon, due to his recent premiership being praised by many newspapers and even some moderate politicians. King William I accepted his request of dissolution and set the election date for the 13th of September 1913. The election led to Hanshon failing to increase his party's seats, instead decreasing them to 65. Labor increased to 61, and Free Liberal increased to 20, which was the party's best election results since the 1907 General Election.
== Background ==
During the 1912 - 1913 term, the government passed one major act called the Dangerous Drugs Act 1913. The act prohibited importing, exporting, creating, or selling of Ecgonine, morphine, cocaine, and heroin in the country. The act was supported by both National Moderate, Free Liberal, and most of Labor. The act led to support from the public and newspapers and made National Moderate confident enough to call an early election.
Parliament was dissolved in early September with the permission of the king and Hanshon set the 13th of September 1913 as the date of the next election.

=== Results ===
National Moderate won 65 seats, a decrease of 6 seats from 71, Labor won 61 seats, an increase of 3 seats from 58, and Free Liberal won 20 seats, an increase of 3 seats from 17.
