- General elections were held in the Netherlands on 30 November and 4 December 1848. Held immediately after the Constitutional Reform of 1848, they were the first direct elections to the House of Representatives, and were the first to elect a States General to which government ministers would be responsible. Voting was restricted to men over the age of 23, and who paid a certain level of taxation. This limited the franchise to 55,728 people, roughly 11% of the male population over 23, or 2.5% of the total population of the country. Candidates were elected in districts in a two-round system; if no candidate received over 50% of the vote in the first round, the top two candidates would face a run-off. The districts had one MP for every 45,000 inhabitants. As there were no official political parties until 1879, all candidates were nominally independents. (en)
- De Tweede Kamerverkiezingen 1848 waren verkiezingen voor de Nederlandse Tweede Kamer. Zij werden gehouden op 30 november 1848. De verkiezingen waren uitgeschreven door het kabinet-Thorbecke I, dat op 1 november 1848 was aangetreden. In 1848 was de Grondwet gewijzigd. De leden van de Tweede Kamer werden nu rechtstreeks gekozen door de kiesgerechtigde bevolking. Tevens werden kiesdistricten ingesteld; een Kieswet, die in 1850 in werking trad, regelde voortaan de details. In afwachting van deze Kieswet bevatte de Grondwet een voorlopig kiesreglement, zodat de eerste directe verkiezingen al in november 1848 konden plaatsvinden. In 1848 werd Nederland verdeeld in 68 enkelvoudige kiesdistricten. Het absolute meerderheidsstelsel was van kracht, waarbij een kandidaat in de eerste ronde de absolute meerderheid van de stemmen moest behalen om gekozen te worden; behaalde geen der kandidaten deze meerderheid, dan volgde een tweede ronde tussen de twee hoogst geëindigde kandidaten.
