General elections were held in Teiko on 9 May 1919. Voting took place in all constituencies in order to elect all the 100 members of the Royal Council, the unicameral legislature of the country. As the constitution requires the Daijō-kan to resign in the first Royal Council session after a general election, the elections will also lead to a new election for Daijō-daijin in the Royal Council, and the appointment of a new Daijō-kan, although ministers may be re-appointed.

This was the only elections post 1896 where all party leaders never held the office of Daijō-daijin.
