1946 Faroese general election

Early general elections were held in the Faroe Islands on 8 November 1946. The elections were called after King Christian X dissolved the Løgting following the contentious aftermath of the Faroese independence referendum held in September. The People's Party remained the largest party in the Løgting, winning 8 of the 20 seats.[1] They were the last elections held before the Faroe Islands were granted home rule on 30 March 1948.
