Parliamentary elections were held in Andorra on 16 December 1955 to renew half of the members of the 24-seat General Council. In constituencies where no candidate won in the first round, a second round was held on 24 December.

Electoral system

Half of the membership of the 24-seat General Council was renewed every two years. Each of the six parish had four seats, except Andorra la Vella, which was divided into two two-seat constituencies, Andorra and Les Escaldes. At each election each parish elected two members, except Andorra and Les Escaldes, which elected one.

In the two-seat constituencies voters could cast two votes. Although candidates ran on lists, in some parishes votes could split their two votes between candidates on different lists. The elections were held using the two-round system, with candidates requiring a majority of the valid vote to be elected in the first round.

Voting was limited to men over 25 with Andorran citizenship, and men who were married to a woman with Andorran citizenship and had at least one adult child. Candidates had to be at least 30 years old.[1]
