General elections were held in Libya on 7 January 1956.[1]
Electoral system
The House of Representatives had 55 seats, on the basis of one for every 20,000 inhabitants.[2] Following the 1952 elections, political parties had been banned, so all candidates contested the election as independents, with political gatherings also prohibited. As a result, voting was based largely on personality, clan ties links and nepotism.[3] 30 candidates were elected unopposed.[2]
