Background
The Decree of 14 July 1952 by the Belgian authorities had introduced an element of democracy to the Burundian political system. A complicated electoral system was created, which involved seven stages of elections to eventually elect the National Superior Council (French: Superieur du Pays).[1]
The elections began in the sub-chiefdoms, then were held in the chiefdoms, then the territories, and finally at the national level.[2]
Results
The elections in the sub-chiefdoms and chiefdoms were held in 1953, with the elections to the Territorial Councils and the Superior Council following in 1954.[3]

gollark: So, I can probably fix this if I make the page rendering step do some database lookups to case-insensitively match things (instead of statelessly generating slugs) and check aliases.
gollark: Also, the way case-insensitivity is done - by canonicalizing to title case - is actually not good.
gollark: Thanks, horse.
gollark: So the public instance has shown me that people care lots about certain minoteaureous features, notably being able to alias pages (e.g. create "bees" as an alias for "bee" such that linking to "bees" actually links to "bee"), and coloring links which are unreachable another color is good.
gollark: ALL are to arbitrarily be told about minoteaur development.
