January 1904 Maltese general election
Appearance
General elections were held in Malta on 14 January 1904.[1] Following the elections, all elected members immediately resigned in protest against the 1903 "Chamberlain" Constitution,[2] forcing fresh elections to be held in February.
Background
[edit]The elections were the first held under the Chamberlain Constitution.[1] The number of members elected from single-member constituencies was reduced from ten to eight.[3][4]
