Presidential elections were held in Bolivia on 4 May 1913 to elect a new president of the republic. Ismael Montes ran unopposed for a second non-consecutive term.

When accounting for spoilt and blank ballots, Montes's victory margin of 98.87% in the popular vote remains the largest margin of victory for any presidential candidate in Bolivian history, even compared to other candidates who ran unopposed.[1]
