The Teutonic Party received 1,900,000 votes, the German National Party 4,600,000, the Democrats 1,600,000, the Centre Party 3,200,000, the Social Democrats 5,000,000, the Communists 3,600,000, the Hanoverian Party 240,000, and the minor parties 700,000. As a result the Social Democrats lost 81 seats; the bourgeois parties striving for the restoration of the monarchy, and the nationalists, gained 28 seats; the People's Party lost 1/3 of its seats; the Centre lost 7 seats, which passed to the Communists. By number of seats the Communist Party will take fourth place in the Reichstag.
