The Legislative Assembly had 18 seats, of which twelve were elected in single-member constituencies, and six were appointed by the territory's Administrator, David Gideon Conradie. The twelve constituencies were Gibeon, Gobabis, Grootfontein, Keetmanshoop, Kolmanskop, Luderitz, Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, Swakopmund, Warmbad, Windhoek Central and Windhoek District.[2]
Three seats, Gibeon, Kootmanshoop and Kolmanskop, were won unopposed by the United National South West Party.[2] Of the six members appointed by Administrator, two were from the German League and four from the United National South West Party.[2]
The results exclude the figures for Swakopmund, where an Independent candidate was elected with a 32-vote majority over their Economic League opponent.[2]
