I know at least one example from a proportional system:

Finland

Parliamentary election, 1929

Social Democrats get most votes (27.4 percent), while the Agrarian League comes second (26.2 percent). However, the Agrarian League gets 60 seats, while the Social Democrats get 59 seats.

(Yay, first post!)
