The 1921 election refers to the separate elections to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland and the House of Commons of Northern Ireland, treated by Sinn Féin as elections to the Second Dáil.1922
On 7 January 1922, in the Anglo-Irish Treaty Dáil vote, TDs constituting the 2nd Dáil divided 64–57 in favour of the Treaty. Those voting were those who were elected for Sinn Féin, which were 125, as five were elected for constituencies in both Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. The Treaty being passed, elections were called for a constituent assembly of the Irish Free State, which constituted the 3rd Dáil.1923–1933
