General elections were held in Uruguay on 26 November 1950, alongside a constitutional referendum. [1] The result was a victory for the Colorado Party, which won the most seats in the Chamber of Deputies and received the most votes in the presidential election.
Under the electoral system in place at the time, each political party could have as many as three presidential candidates. The combined result of the votes for a party's candidates determined which party would control the executive branch, and whichever of the winning party's candidates finished in first place would be declared President.
The Batllista wing of the Colorado Party won 41 of the 53 Colorado seats in the Chamber, with the Liberty and Justice wing winning the other 12. [2] The Batllistas had similar success in the Senate, winning 12 of the 17 Colorado seats, while the 'To serve the country' wing won five. [3]
