Partial general elections were held in the Faroe Islands in 1899 to elect nine of the eighteen elected members of theLøgting.[1] The Danish administrator (Amtmaður) and the localdean (Próstur) were also members, with the administrator serving as thespeaker.[2]
Members of the Løgting were elected byfirst-past-the-post voting, with voters having as many votes as there were seats available in their constituency. Nine of the 18 seats were elected every two years. Voting was restricted to men aged 25 or over who met certain tax-paying criteria.[1]
