In the 12th district, any vacancy is filled via appointment of the Governor-General. The election itself is via first-past-the-post.

  • Aftermath

    edit

    This was the last Senate election before 1946, since the Constitutional Convention, elected a month later, abolished the Senate by creating the unicameral National Assembly. The Senate would have been restored with amendments to the constitution that would have been applied in 1941, but World War II broke out and the elected senators would not have served until 1946.
