General elections were held in Liberia in 1931. In the presidential election, incumbent Edwin Barclay of the True Whig Party (who had originally taken office following the resignation of Charles D. B. King in December 1930) was challenged by Thomas J. Faulkner of the People's Party, who had lost to Charles D. B. King in the heavily rigged 1927 elections.[1] Although Faulkner increased his vote share, particularly in Monrovia, where he only narrowly lost, Barclay was elected to a first full term in office.[2]
