1956_Barbadian_general_election

MPs were elected across twelve two-member constituencies, using the block vote method. Voter turnout was 60.3%. Despite winning more votes than the newly formed Democratic Labour Party, the Progressive Conservative Party won fewer seats, a consequence of the plurality voting system used.
