Summary/Abstract: In this article we explain the main stakes of the electoral campaign held on the elections of 18, 20, 22 May 1914 [Chamber of Deputies] and 24, 26, 28 May 1914 [Senate], identifying the main themes present during the electoral debate. The electoral campaign in May 1914 generated significant consequences for the adoption of the two reforms, after the Legislative Assembly elected in February 1914 was dissolved after the draft Constitutional Review was finalized. The electoral campaign of May 1914 for the election of the Constituent Assembly was marked by the cleavage regarding the adoption or rejection of the agrarian reform and the electoral reform.
