Election

Election

Constituent Assembly elections were held in Venezuela on 27 October 1946, following a coup the year before which launched El Trienio Adeco. They were the first free national elections in the country's history.

Democratic Action, which had led the provisional government formed after the coup, won a decisive victory with 137 of the 160 seats in the Assembly. Voter turnout was 86.6%. The assembly drafted a constitution ahead of the country's first free regular elections a year later.
