1947 Dominican Republic general election
General elections were held in the Dominican Republic on 16 May 1947.[1] For the first time since the 1924 elections (and the only time during the Trujillo's rule) there was more than one presidential candidate. However, the incumbent Rafael Trujillo remained in power after receiving 93% of the vote. His Dominican Party won every seat in the Congressional elections.
