1916 Uruguayan Constitutional Assembly election

Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Uruguay on 30 July 1916. The National Party emerged as the largest party, winning 105 of the 218 seats. The Batllista wing of the Colorado Party was defeated as a result of a coalition of nationalist and non-Batllista Colorado Party members. According to one study, "Exigencies of politics precluded a clear-cut batllista control of the constitutional convention elected in 1916 even though Batlle's followers still dominated the congress."
