General elections were held in British Guiana in September 1930.
Following the victory of the Popular Party in the 1926 elections, constitutional reforms in 1928 replaced the 22-member Combined Court with a new 30-member Legislative Council, which included an extra eight appointees,[1] giving them a majority of seats over the elected members. The new Legislative Council consisted of the Governor, two ex-officio members, eight official members, five unofficial members and 14 members elected in single-member constituencies.[2]
Popular Party candidates were elected unopposed in eight constituencies as a result of disquiet over the 1928 constitutional reforms.[3]
