Early general elections were held in the
Faroe Islands on 8 November 1946. The elections were called after
King Christian X dissolved the
Løgting following the contentious aftermath of the
Faroese independence referendum held in September. The
People's Party remained the largest party in the Løgting, winning 8 of the 20 seats.[1] They were the last elections held before the Faroe Islands were granted
home rule on 30 March 1948.
