1800 Jockian general election was the first quadrennial general election held in Jockia under the new Constitution. It was held on 27 June 1800. George White was elected as the first Prime Minister of Jockia, with Adam Jacobs as the Leader of the Most Loyal Opposition. Only two political parties had been created at this point, one on the centre-left and one on the centre-right.

The election

Parliament following election

Following the election, the 650 MPs that had been elected immediately took their seats in Parliament. The People's Party had a landslide majority over the Nationalists. As the country had been made a few months previously, there were only two parties in Parliament and two parties in the whole country. Over the next four years, however, many parties were created.

  People's Party: 354 seats
  Nationalist Party: 296 seats
