Constituent Assembly elections were held in Costa Rica on 8 December 1948,[1] following the Costa Rican Civil War. The elections were convened by the Founding Junta of the Second Republic, which was exercising provisional governmental authority in accordance with the Ulate–Figueres Pact. A total of 45 constituent deputies and 15 alternate members were to be elected.
The result was a victory for the National Union Party of president-elect Otilio Ulate Blanco, which won 34 of the 45 seats. The assembly subsequently drafted the 1949 constitution.
