1960 South Korean legislative election
Legislative elections were held in South Korea on 29 June 1960. They were the first elections of the Second Republic and saw the first election of members of the new Senate, together with the fifth election of members of the House of Commons. They were also the first relatively free and fair national elections held in the country, but would be the last free elections until the 1987 presidential elections. Voter turnout was 84.3%.
The result was a victory for the Democratic Party, which won 175 of the 233 seats in the House of Commons, and 31 of the 58 seats in the Senate. It was the first time that the Democratic Party won a legislative election, but the party and its successors did not win an election again until 2004.Results
