General Council elections were held in Senegal in December 1946.[1] The Socialist Republican Union won all 50 seats.[1]

Electoral system

Unlike other French colonies in Africa which used a dual college system, with French citizens electing part of the General Council and Africans electing the remainder, the Senegalese General Council was elected on a general roll.[1]
