Background

Constitutional arrangements for local elections in Trinidad and Tobago were made in 1946. Five leaflets were delivered to voters, explaining voter registration, the new county councils and the voting procedure.[1]

Electoral system

The County Council elections used the same districts as the Legislative Council, but with each constituency electing two members instead of one.[1]
