The 1912 Nova-País Legislative election was held on 15th July, 1912, to elect all 250 members of the National Cortes. The election saw the opposition Liberal Party return to government after a 3 year absence, defeating the incumbent National Preservation Party. This election was the last legislative election to ever take place in Nova-País, and the penultimate election to take place with King Duarté III as head of state. This election had the greatest number of eligible voters of any election to take place in Nova-País, with 3,621,904 eligible voters of whom 85% turned out, a total of 3,111,215 votes cast. This represented approximately 15% of the entire Nova-País population.
The Liberal Party achieved its second-ever legislative majority, with a total seat count of 201, representing a majority of 150 seats. This was their greatest majority until the 1915 General Election. The majority was the largest majority achieved by a party in Nova-País since 1868. The Liberal's vote share was also exceptionally large, representing 57% of all votes cast.
The National Preservation Party suffered a bruising defeat, losing ----- seats and being forced into opposition. Their vote share also fell considerably to -----. Although their vote share remained relatively constant in New Venapli, they suffered heavily in and around Wanmachi and medium-sized cities. This was the last time the National Preservation Party would enter government in either Nova-País or País-Sukoku, and the party would only continue to decline after the introduction of universal suffrage in 1915 and the formation of País-Sukoku in 1916.
This election was significant as it was when the Social Democrat party made their electoral debut, gaining 1.1% of the vote and 0 seats. Most of the Social Democrat's vote share at this stage was made up of recent white Amnisian immigrants and converted Mathetist Sukoki. Although the People's Union grew both their seat and vote share, this was still their second worst electoral performance (after 1909). Although the People's Union earnt 17% of the popular vote, they only gained 20 seats, representing 8%. After the 1915 Election, the People's Union would dissolve and most politicians would join the Social Democrats.
