1954 Monegasque general election

General elections were held in Monaco on 10 January 1954 with a second round on 17 January 1954 to elect the 18 members of the National Council.

Electoral system

Voters can either choose a party list or choose candidates from various lists ("panachage") for the 18 seats. To be elected a candidate must receive a majority of valid votes. If the 18 seats are not filled in the first round, the remaining seats are elected in a second round by a simple majority.
