Administrative Council elections were held in Dahomey in 1932.[1]

Electoral system

Three members of the Administrative Council were elected from single-member constituencies; Abomey, Ouidah and Porto-Novo. However, the franchise was extremely restricted.

Campaign

In Porto-Novo, Augustin Nicoué campaigned against the school enrollment restrictions. He had previously been close to the councillors supported by La Voix, but became an ardent critic of the city's Administrative Council member, Casimir d'Almeida.[1]

Results

Despite Nicoué's campaign, Casimir d'Almeida was re-elected.[1]
