The 2341 Hveden Federation elections took place across the Hveden Federation on 30 May 2341. They were the first elections since the formation of the Hveden Federal Republic. Fritz Wentzel, who had served as Prime Minister of Kusfeld under King John I, became the first President of Hvede following reform on 13 November 2339. Wentzel sought re-election as part of the National party. The Federalist party had gained a large amount of popularity following the Beletharian Wars and Liberal revolutions, and the surrender to Ralda and an increase to the voting franchise. Alessand Braune was nominated to be the Federalist party candidate. The Libertarian party and Unitarian party did not put forward a candidate, and no independents ran. Wentzel won 31.11% of the popular vote, while Braune won 68.89%, which saw the Federalists win the election and Alessand Braune being elected as the 2nd President of the Hveden Federation.

Elections to the President's Assembly and National Assembly took place the same day. In the President's Assembly, 130 seats were to be contested. Federalists won 55 seats, the Libertarians won 41 seats - the second most - while the National party was relegated to the third largest party with 34 seats. No independents or Unitarians won any PA seats. Federalists were short 11 for a majority in the chamber. In the National Assembly, 681 seats were to be contested. Federalists won 286 seats, the Nationals won 234 seats, the Libertarians won 129 seats, the Unitarians won 29, and Independents won 3. Federalists were short 55 seats of a majority in the chamber. The National party lost in both chambers, and the presidency, while the Federalists won all three.

After the election, many Federalists and Libertarians believed both parties had similarities and wanted to reach the same goals. In July, the parties signed the 2341–2342 Federalist–Libertarian electoral coalition. This meant that in the President's Assembly, the coalition held a combined 415 seats (60.93%), a majority of 148, while in the National Assembly, the coalition held a combined 96 seats (73.85%). This gave the coalition great power to achieve their aims.
