General elections were held in San Marino on 14 November 1920 to elect the sixth term of the Grand and General Council. [1] It was the country's first snap election, and the first election to use a form of proportional representation. [2] The result was a victory for the Sammarinese People's Party, which won 29 of the 60 seats. [3]
Under the Italian example, San Marino adopted the party-list proportional representation on October 15, 1920. The three-class division was eliminated, and the councillors' term limited to four years.
The Sammarinese People's Party made its debut, after that Pope Benedict's abolition of the non expedit had allowed the foundation of its twin, the Italian People's Party. By their part, landowners created their Conservative force, the Sammarinese Democratic Union, claiming the return to the pre-1906 institutions to restore order against strikes and political violences.
The result was a narrow victory for the Christian democrats, but the Socialists refused to join the newly elected council, following a revolutionary political strategy. On January 11, 1921, all Socialist seats were declared vacant for absence, and a by-election was organized on April 10: ten Christian democrats and eight Conservatives became councillors.
Voters had to be citizens of San Marino, male, the head of the family and 24 years old.

The Pentaparty formula, the governative alliance between five centrist parties, caused unexpected problems to Christian Democracy. The alliance was fixed and universal, extended both to the national government and to the local administrations. Considering that the election result did not longer depend by the strength of the DC, but by the strength of the entire Pentapartito, centrist electors began to look at the Christian Democratic vote as not necessary to prevent a Communist success. More, voting for one of the four minor parties of the alliance was seen as a form of moderate protest against the government without giving advantages to the PCI. Other minor effects of this election were a reduction of the referendarian Radical Party and the appearance of some regional forces.
