Parliamentary elections were held in Iceland in 1844.[1] They were the first elections in the country's history.[2]

Electoral system

The Althing was composed of 26 members, twenty of which were elected and six of which were appointed by the monarch. The twenty members were elected in single-member constituencies by plurality voting. Each voter had two votes, with the runner-up becoming the MP's deputy.[3] Voting was restricted to male property owners over the age of 25.[2]
