General elections were held in Cambodia on 9 June 1955. The elections were held following the peace established at the 1954 Geneva Conference and the independence of the country. The election were postponed to September 1955.[1] The result was a landslide victory for the Sangkum party, which won all 91 seats.[2] The election was marked by widespread voter fraud and intimidation.[3][4] This began a period of one-party dominance of Prince Sihanouk's Sangkum until the coup of 1970.
