1932 Salvadoran legislative election

Legislative elections were held in El Salvador between 12 and 14 January 1932. The government had promised free and fair elections and invited all parties, including the Communist Party, to compete. However, voters had to be registered in their municipalities alongside their party, thus giving the government a list of Communist Party members. In the preceding municipal elections on 3–5 January, the Communists won several predominantly indigenous municipalities in the west of the country. Maximiliano Hernández Martínez canceled the planned second round of the legislative and municipal elections due to the Communist success. The conservative Progressive Fraternal Party boycotted the elections in San Salvador on the grounds of electoral fraud.
