The Falkland Islands general election of 1956 was held in March and April 1956 to elect members to the
Legislative Council. Four out of the twelve Councillors were elected through
universal suffrage, two from
Stanley and one each from
East Falkland and
West Falkland. Owing to the remoteness of some settlements and the unpredictability of the weather on the Falkland Islands, the election took place over several days.
