British Guiana general election, 1935

Electoral system

The elections were held in accordance with the 1928 constitution, which established the Legislative Council, reducing the proportion of elected members and increasing the number of members appointed by the government. The 30-member Legislative Council consisted of the Governor, two ex-officio members, eight official members, five unofficial members and 14 members elected in single-member constituencies.

Aftermath

The first meeting of the newly elected Council was held on 15 October. As there were no elections until 1947, the elected Legislative Council became known as the "Long Parliament".
