General elections were held in Fiji on 28 April 1911.
The Legislative Council consisted of eleven civil servants, six elected Europeans and two appointed Fijians.[1] Previously the six Europeans had been elected from three constituencies; Levuka (one seat), Suva (two seats) and a "Planters" constituency covering the rest of the colony (three seats).[1] However, prior to the 1911 elections, the Planters constituency was split into three single-member constituencies; Eastern, Northern and Southern.[2]
