1935 Yugoslavian Senate election explained

Partial Senate elections were held in Yugoslavia on 3 February 1935. Half of the 46 elected seats were up for election.

Background

The Senate was created by the 1931 constitution and had 92 members, 46 elected and 46 appointed by the king. The 46 elected members were to serve six-year terms, with 23 elected every six years. Following its creation, all 46 elected members were elected in the January 1932 elections. In October 1934 Senators drew lots to decide the 23 who would serve a three-year term, with their seats coming up for election in 1935.

Electoral system

Of the 23 elected senators, four were elected in Morava Banovina, three in Danube Banovina, Drava Banovina, Drina Banovina and Zeta Banovina, two in Sava Banovina, Vardar Banovina and Vrbas Banovina and one in Littoral Banovina.[1]
