Territorial Assembly elections were held in Senegal on 30 March 1952.[1] The Senegalese Democratic Bloc won 41 of the 50 seats.
Electoral system
editUnlike 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]
