Parliamentary elections were held in British Somaliland on 17 February 1960. The result was a victory for the Somali National League (SNL), which won 20 of the 33 seats in the Legislative Council.
Background.
Although a Legislative Council had been elected in 1959, a new constitution led to the Council having an elected majority; 33 elected seats and three government officials.
Electoral system.
The 33 elected members of the Council were elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting.
