As a former registrar of the Provincial States of South Holland, Röell was familiar with the intricacies of local and regional government and water management. In 1877, he was elected to the Tweede Kamer for the district of Utrecht. When Röell was not re-elected in 1886, he became a member of the Eerste Kamer (Senate) of the Dutch parliament.

In 1894 Röell was asked to form a cabinet, in which he became Prime Minister and minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1897, after finishing his term he stood for election to the Tweede Kamer again, and was not elected. From 1898 to 1901 he was a member of the Eerste Kamer, returned to the Tweede Kamer in 1901 and was chairman of the Tweede Kamer from 1905 to 1909.

After another stinch in the Eerste Kamer Röell was appointed vice-president of the Raad van State (Council of State). Röell died in 1914 in The Hague, nine days before his 70th birthday, and was buried in the family vault in Leusden three days later.
