State elections were held in the Free State of Prussia on 7 December 1924 to elect all 450 members of the Landtag of Prussia. The results left the seat count of the governing coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Centre Party, and German Democratic Party almost flat, with most movement happening amongst the opposition. The German National People's Party made significant gains, nearly surpassing the SPD as the largest party. Most of the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD) had merged back into the SPD in 1922, leaving behind only a small rump party that did not receive enough votes to return any members to the Landtag. The German People's Party lost a portion of the gains it had made in the previous election. The National Socialist Freedom Party, a disguised rebirth of the Nazi Party formed after it was banned following the Beer Hall Putsch, won 2.5% of the vote and 11 seats.
