1926 Madras Presidency Legislative Council election

The 1926 Madras Presidency Legislative Council election was a significant electoral event held in the Madras Presidency of British India. Conducted between April and June 1926, the election aimed to fill 47 out of 102 seats in the Legislative Council, with representatives elected from constituencies across the presidency. This election was notable for the increased political engagement of Indian nationalists and the push for constitutional reforms. With the backdrop of the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms of 1919, the electoral process allowed for limited self-governance, albeit under British oversight. The Indian National Congress and other political groups actively participated, reflecting the growing demand for greater autonomy and legislative representation.
