South Korean general election, 1948
- South Korean general election, 1948
The South Korean election of 1948 was held on May 10, 1948. It was South Korea's first general election. It was held under the American military occupation, with supervision from the United Nations. The election was originally intended to be held throughout the Korean peninsula, but US and Soviet forces were unable to agree on the terms of such an election. It was therefore held only in the US-administered territory. The voters elected members of parliament, who then voted on the constitution and elected the president.
This election was followed by the establishment of the First Republic of South Korea under Syngman Rhee, the country's first independent government since the fall of the Joseon Dynasty in 1910.
