1905 Uruguayan parliamentary election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliamentary elections were held in Uruguay on 22 January 1905 to elect all members of the Chamber of Representatives and 7 of the 19 members of the Senate.[1] The elections had originally been scheduled for November 1904,[1] but were postponed in the aftermath of the Saravia revolt, which had culminated in the Battle of Masoller in September 1904.

Electoral system

[edit]

Suffrage was limited to literate men. Voting was not secret, as voters had to sign their ballot paper.[2]
