General elections for the National Assembly were held in Siam on 6 January 1946. In the first elections since the Second World War, a total of 2,091,788 votes were cast and voter turnout was 32.5%.[1] A second round of elections was held in 47 provinces on 5 August in order to increase the number of MPs to the number set in the constitution.[1]
At the time there were no political parties,[2] so all candidates ran as independents. There were unofficial affiliations. Supporters of Pridi Banomyong (Sahachip Party and the Constitutional Front) took 57 seats, the Democrat Party took 18 seats and a further seven seats went to unaffiliated representatives.[3]
