Presidential elections were held in Guatemala on 17 January 1916. For the second successive election, Manuel Estrada Cabrera was re-elected unopposed.[1][2] Despite there only being one candidate, voters were rounded up by the military and taken to polling stations, where they could only vote for Cabrera.[3] Cabrera assumed the presidency on 15 March 1911.
