From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliamentary elections were held in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands on 8 November 1966.[1]

Electoral system[edit]

The bicameral Congress consisted of a 12-member Senate with two members from each of the six districts and a 21-member House of Representatives with seats apportioned to each district based on their population – five from Truk, four from the Marshall Islands and Ponape, three from the Mariana Islands and Palau and two from Yap.[1]

Elections were held every two years in November of even-numbered years, with all members of the House of Representatives and half the Senate (one member from each district) renewed at each election.
