The extension of the franchise to all men over 21 followed social unrest referred to as the Andorran Revolution.Nohlen & Stöver, p. 155 As political parties were not legalised until 1993, all candidates ran as independents.Nohlen & Stöver, p. 154 Background The elections, called by the co-princes, took place amid the occupation of the country by French gendarmes. The police had arrived after the General Council approved universal male suffrage – until then only the heads of household could vote – forced by the occupation of the Casa de la Vall on 5 April by the Young Andorrans. The Tribunal de Corts subsequently dismissed the General Council elected in 1932. Faced with the Council's resistance to dissolution, however, the co-princes sent a contingent of gendarmes to Andorra on 19 August and ordered the elections to be held on 31 August. https://www.enciclopedia.cat/EC-GEC-0003858.xml Andorra Gran enciclopèdia catalana ca Census Parish Voters Canillo 155 Encamp 111 Sant Julia de Loria 121 La Massana 114 Ordino 115 Andorra la Vella 115 Les Escaldes 84 Total 815 Results The interpretation of the results is complicated because there were no formal political parties, instead councilors were linked to groups that could vary in opinion.Arnau Gonzàlez i Vilalta (2009) La cruïlla andorrana de 1933: la revolució de la modernitat, Cossetània Edicions, p. 169 978-8497914970 The day after the elections, the press reported 14 seats had been won by the Integral Nationalist Group (GNI), conservative supporters of the co-princes; five seats had been won by the Andorran Union (UA), supporters of the deposed General Council, and four had been won by socialists.
