There were 501,880,212 valid votes cast.
The Social Democratic-Green alliance won 169 seats; the Liberal-Conservative alliance won 49. The Liberal Democrats won none.
This was the second landslide election in North Ahjeezistan's history, after the first. The Social Democrats swept opposition safe seats, defeating Lord Burnswick, the former, and Lord Rarton, the current, leader of the opposition; Liberal Democratic leader Virginia Halley; and three shadow ministers. For the first time the Greens bested the Conservatives and for the second time the Social Democrats captured more than half the popular vote on their own.
The scale of the left's victory is generally attributed to the finalized Tenantry Reform Act, which doubled turnout among peasants.
