General elections were held in Cuba on 1 June 1948.[1] Carlos Prío Socarrás won the presidential election running under the Auténtico-Republican Alliance banner, whilst the Partido Auténtico emerged as the largest party in the House of Representatives, winning 29 of the 70 seats. Voter turnout was 78.7%.[2]
As of 2024, this is the last free election held in Cuba: elections were scheduled for 1952, but former president Fulgencio Batista seized power in a military coup three months before the elections.
