General elections were held in Monaco on 19 January 1958. The result was a victory for the National Union of Independents, which won 11 of the 18 seats in the National Council.[1]
Voters can either choose a party list or choose candidates from various lists ("panachage") for the 18 seats. To be elected a candidate must receive a majority of valid votes. If the 18 seats are not filled in the first round, the remaining seats are elected in a second round by a simple majority.
