1948 Northern Rhodesian general election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

General elections were held in Northern Rhodesia on 14 August 1948.[1]

Electoral system

The ten elected members of the Legislative Council (an increase from eight in the 1944 elections) were elected from ten single-member constituencies.[2] Two new constituencies were created; Lusaka was split out of the Midland constituency, whilst Mufulira–Chingola was created by taking Mufulira from the Luanshya constituency and Chingola from the Nkana constituency.[2]

The Livingstone and Western and Southern constituencies were reorganised into Livingstone and South-Western. There were a total of 7,086 registered voters.[2]
