1937 Constantinopolitan general election (Queen of Cities)

General elections were held on December 5, 1937 to determine the composition of the fourth Parliament of the Sovereign City of Constantinople. This election was held following the April Crisis of 1935, which resulted in the adoption of a a new electoral law that changed the electoral system to first-past-the-post and gave a massive advantage to the ruling Citizens' Front and the resignation of all members of the Directory that were not affiliated with the Front. As a result, the ruling party won in a landslide, gaining a supermajority in the Chamber of Deputies.

On December 13, the Parliament elected the first single-party Directory in the country's history, firmly marking the beginning of the Citizens' Front's one-party rule over Constantinople.

Electoral system
The 1937 election was the first one that was held under the new d'Andria Law that provoked a political crisis that brought down Constantinople's multi-party democracy. Under this law, the Chamber of Deputies would be elected via first-past-the-post, giving a large advantage to multi-ethnic parties such as the Citiens' Front. In addition, subsequent legislation gerrymandered the electoral map in favor of the incumbent party, effectively guaranteeing a victory for the Front. The Chamber of Nations retained its old electoral system, leading to a weaker Frontist majority in the upper chamber.
