Electoral system The elections were held using a majority/minority system, in which the first and second parties in each constituency (based on departments) received a set number of seats, regardless of their vote shares. In Montevideo and constituencies with four seats, three-quarters of the seats were awarded to the first-placed party and one-quarter to the second-placed party. In constituencies with three seats, two were given to the first-placed party and one to the runner-up, as long as the second-placed party received at least 25% of the vote. In Flores Department (which had two seats) the second-placed party had to receive at least 50% of the number of votes received by the first-placed party to win a seat. Suffrage was limited to literate men. Voting was not secret, as voters had to sign their ballot paper.Dieter Nohlen (2005) Elections in the Americas: A data handbook, Volume II, p491 978-0-19-928358-3 Results Colorado Party 28202 69 +18 Nationalist Directorate 13335 14 New Civic Reaction 2801 1 New Other parties 47 0 – +13 Bottinelli et al.
