General elections were held in Montserrat in 1937. They were the first elections since the 1860s.
Background edit
The partially elected Legislative Assembly dissolved itself in 1866 and was replaced with a wholly appointed body.[1] This remained in place until 1937 when constitutional reforms reintroduced elected members. The reorganised legislature had nine seats; four elected, three held by government officials and two by nominees appointed by the Governor.[2]
Results edit
The six members elected or appointed were:[3]
- John Clifford Llewelyn Wall
- H F Shand
- James H Meade
- Alfred H Allen
- Randoph Howes
- A W Griffin
