Voter turnout was 88.1%.Nohlen et al., p464 The election was held during the Korean War, which played an important role in consolidating Rhee's support. Background President Rhee's factions took a devastating blow in the 1950 legislative election, when they won a little more than a quarter of the seats in the National Assembly, combined. In belief he would have little shot at reelection in the opposition-controlled legislature, President Rhee decided to amend the constitution so that the president would be elected by the people, instead of the legislature. President Rhee had the amendment pass in July 1952, after using police and military to threaten lawmakers.http://encykorea.aks.ac.kr/Contents/Item/E0021623 발췌개헌(拔萃改憲) Encyclopedia of Korean Culture 2019-03-29 Results President Syngman Rhee Liberal Party 5238769 Cho Bong-am Independent #e60026 797504 Yi Si-yeong Democratic Nationalist Party 764715 Shin Heung-u Independent #ffcc33 219696 255199 8259428 Nohlen et al.
