Singapore general election, 1951

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1951 Legislative Council General Elections was held in Singapore on 10 April 1951 to elect nine seats on the Legislative Council, up from six seats in the 1948 elections. A 32-day long campaign period was scheduled, with nomination day on 8 March 1951

Out of 48,155 registered voters, only 52.8% took the effort to vote, again bogged down by boycott calls and with the city still suffering from the after effects of the Maria Hertogh riots four months before voting took place.
