General elections were held in Burma over several months between June 1951 and April 1952 due to internal conflict within the country.[1][2]

The first elections since independence, they saw the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League (AFPFL) win 60% of the vote and 199 out of 250 seats. Voter turnout was low at 20%, as only 1.5 million voters out of an eligible 8 million participated.[3] It was the lowest turnout for a Burmese election since the 1920s boycotts in colonial Burma.[1]
