General elections were held in Costa Rica between 2 and 9 December 1849.[1] They were the first presidential elections after the Reformed Constitution of 1848 created the title of "President". Previously the equivalent office was called "Head of State".
The elections took place after a coup against José María Castro Madriz, who was forced to resign.[2] At that time, the vice president, Miguel Mora Porras, held the presidency temporarily and his brother, Juan Rafael Mora Porras, was elected over Rafael Moya Murillo and Manuel Antonio Bonilla Nava.[2]
