The 1706 elections in Sankt Ludwigshafen were the eight elections ever held in the nation, and the first of the fourth republic. The elections were the first and only were the legislature was not called the Stadtparlement, but the Nationalversammlung and had 100 seats instead of the normal 50. Like in 1699, 1702 and 1705, four parties participated in the elections, this being the Traditional Party '80, the Slight Reform Party '81, the Progressive Alliance '83 and the Tekeel Party '97. The elections were won by the Traditional Party, which received 93 seats, the Slight Reform Party received 3 seats, the Progressive Alliance received three seats. The Tekeel Party kept its single seat but, like in 1702, with a very narrow margin. During its first session the Nationalversammlung re-elected Adam Rettich of the Traditional Party, securing his fifth term as stadtholder

Despite the constitutional change, the political landscape remained mostly the same, dominated by the Traditional Party.
