The 2302 Hveden Federation parliamentary election took place on 1 April 2302 to elect the 500 members of the House of Commons of the Hveden Federation. The election took place prior to the establishment of the Hveden Federation, which would form on 1 July 2302. As such, election procedures were slightly different and were held with separate rules in each of the ten members taking part. Much more of the country was eligible to vote than the senate elections, with 73.2% of the population eligible to vote, and a recorded turnout of 47.1%.
The United Party achieved the most seats with 199 seats, with the National Party achieving 191 seats, just behind. For coalition building, it was practical impossible for the National party to get into government from second place. To get a majority they'd need to coalition with the Conservative Party and still be 7 seats short, and then requiring the help of the ideologically-opposed Progressive Party and both independents. Even in this state, a single rebellion could bring down the government. Therefore, the United Party despite being short 52 seats and only 8 ahead of the Nationals, were to form the government. They made a supply and demand agreement with the People Party who came fourth, to get a combined 249 seats, short just two. This was not an official coalition. The Progressives would often vote with the government.
