The National Liberal Party boycotted the elections. In agreement with the German Empire, elections were also held in then-occupied Romania (Walachia and parts of the Western Moldavia), with the exception of the province of Dobruja (Caliacra, Durostor, Constanța and Tulcea counties), which was ceded to Bulgaria and the Central Powers according to the Treaty of Bucharest.
