General elections were held in Barbados on 7 December 1956. The result was a victory for the Barbados Labour Party, which won 15 of the 24 seats. MPs were elected across twelve two-member constituencies, using the block vote method. Voter turnout was 60.3%. Despite winning more votes than the newly formed Democratic Labour Party, the Progressive Conservative Party won fewer seats, a consequence of the plurality voting system used.

  • Парламентские выборы на Барбадосе прошли 7 декабря 1956 года. В результате победу одержала Барбадосская лейбористская партия, которая получила 15 из 24 мест парламента. Выборы проходили по непропорциональной избирательной системе с 12 двухмандатными избирательными округами, на которых каждый избиратель имел два голоса. Явка избирателей составила 60,3 %. Хотя Прогрессивно-консервативная партия получила больше голосов, чем вновь сформированная Демократическая лейбористская партия, она выиграла меньшее количество мест как следствие непропорциональной избирательной системы.

  • Las elecciones generales de Barbados de 1956 tuvieron lugar el jueves 6 de diciembre del mencionado año con el objetivo de renovar los 24 escaños de la Cámara de la Asamblea, órgano legislativo unicameral del Parlamento de Barbados, entonces una colonia del Imperio británico. Fueron las segundas elecciones realizadas desde la instauración del sufragio universal. El sistema electoral empleado fue el de escrutinio mayoritario plurinominal, con las once parroquias y la ciudad de Bridgetown ejerciendo como circunscripciones, las cuales eran representadas por dos escaños cada una, resultando elegidos los dos postulantes más votados por simple mayoría de votos.​ (es)
