General elections were held in Siam on 29 January 1948. Following the 1947 coup, the unicameral parliament elected in 1946 was abrogated. It was replaced by a bicameral parliament with a 100-seat appointed Senate and a 99-member House of Representatives.[1]
At the time there were no political parties,[2] so all candidates ran as independents. Voter turnout was 30%.[3]
