1946 Uruguayan general election

General elections were held in Uruguay on 24 November 1946, 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, in which Tomás Berreta was elected. Berreta subsequently became President on 1 March 1947.

The Batllista faction of the Colorado Party, which won the most seats of the Colorado factions,[2][3] would remain in power until 1958.[4]
