1963 election (1st Parliament)
The 1963 Docktrissian federal election was held on 3 November that year to elect members of the House of Commons of the 1st Parliament of Docktrissia. Various parties competed for seats in the new parliament. It was the first election held on Docktrissia's history, only 20 days before independence. The Conservatives won the election, and their leader, William Hartnell, became the country's first Prime Minister.

The election was called on 4 September, after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, which had functioned as the national legislative body since 1961. On election day, the Conservatives won a strong plurality, taking 147 out of the 300 seats available. Though they fell four seats short of an outright majority, Hartnell became Prime Minister, and formed a minority government. The Social Democrats, led by Patrick Troughton, emerged as the official opposition, winning 130 seats, while the Liberals won 23 seats. The German Rights' Party, which held seats in the constituent assembly, fell short of the 5% national threshold and was shut out of Parliament, being dissolved shortly afterwards.

Hartnell was sworn in as Docktrissia's first Prime Minister on 23 November 1963, and parliament's first action was to pass the Docktrissia Act 1963, which formally made Docktrissia an independent country.

1966 election (2nd Parliament)
The 1966 Docktrissian federal election was held on 4 December that year to elect members of the House of Commons to the 2nd Parliament of Docktrissia. The election was called on 5 October 1966, after Prime Minister Jon Pertwee advised Governor General Innes Lloyd to dissolve parliament. Lloyd granted the request, therefore calling the country's second election.

The election was called by Pertwee well before the January 1969 deadline. Pertwee, who had taken over from the ailing William Hartnell in July, argued that a new government needed a new mandate, due to him not having a majority, and finding it troublesome to pass legislation. Pertwee's move payed off, with the Conservatives picking up four seats for a total of 151, just enough for a majority. The Social Democrats, led by Patrick Troughton were unable to defeat Pertwee, although they were able to gain seats. The Liberals suffered a 7-seat loss to a polarized political environment.

Pertwee went on to form the country's first majority government. This election marked the first time that both parties won at least 40% of the vote, as well as the last time the Tories won the most votes in Dusseldorf until 2010. It would also be the last time the Tories won a majority of seats in parliament until 2014, and to this day, the Tories' 45.94% share of the vote remains the highest ever won by the party. It was the last Conservative victory until 1984.

1970 election (3rd Parliament)
The 1970 Docktrissian federal election was held on 11 January that year to elect members of the House of Commons to the 3rd Parliament of Docktrissia. The election was called on 12 November 1969, after Prime Minister Jon Pertwee advised Governor General Peter Bryant to dissolve parliament. Bryant granted the request, therefore calling the country's third election.

The election was called by Pertwee rather early, in an apparent attempt to expand his majority and hoping to take advantage of high approval ratings. Nonetheless, the election resulted in the surprise defeat of the Conservatives, with the government losing 26 seats. The Social Democrats, led by Patrick Troughton, picked up 32 seats, to finish with a strong majority of 30. The election marked the first time that a party other than the Tories won, and was the first ever victory for the Social Democrats, who would go on to dominate Docktrissian politics for over a decade.

Troughton took over from Pertwee on 28 January, becoming the country's third prime minister. The election marked the beginning of a 14 year long reign for the SDP, with it also being the last time that Troughton led his party into an election. Pertwee remained on as Opposition Leader, while Liberal leader Peter Butterworth resigned after seeing his party reduced to just 10 seats.

1974 election (4th Parliament)
The 1974 Docktrissian federal election was held on 8 December that year to elect members of the House of Commons to the 4th Parliament of Docktrissia. The election was called on 9 October 1974, after Prime Minister Tom Baker advised Governor General Barry Letts to dissolve parliament. Letts granted the request, therefore calling the country's fourth election.

The election was called by Baker near the tail end of the legislature's term, having recently assumed as Prime Minister upon Patrick Troughton's retirement. Baker led the Social Democrats to a landslide victory, winning over 50% of the vote and 181 seats, a strong majority of 62. The Tories, led by former PM Jon Pertwee were reduced to 105 seats, while the Liberals rebounded to 14 seats, now led by Peter Pratt.

Baker formed a new government after securing his first electoral victory. Pertwee resigned as leader shortly after, being succeeded by Richard Hurndall. The election marked the first time, and as of 2021 the only time, that a party won a majority of the popular vote. It also marked the first time that a government had a three-fifths majority in parliament, allowing Baker to, in some cases, override the Tory filled Senate.

1978 election (5th Parliament)
The 1978 Docktrissian federal election was held on 20 August that year to elect members of the House of Commons to the 4th Parliament of Docktrissia. The election was called on 9 October 1974, after Prime Minister Tom Baker advised Governor General Barry Letts to dissolve parliament. Letts granted the request, therefore calling the country's fourth election.
