1956 Libyan general election
text:
General elections were held in Libya on 7 January 1956 to elect the members of the House of Representatives, the lower house of Parliament. The House of Representatives had 55 seats, one for every 20,000 inhabitants. Following the 1952 elections, political parties and political gatherings had been banned, so all candidates contested the election as independents. As a result, voting was based largely on personality, clan ties, and nepotism. Thirty candidates were elected unopposed.
