1946 Wizarding Great Britain ministerial election

The 1946 Wizarding Great Britain ministerial election was held on 14 February 1946. This was the first ministerial election held in Wizarding Great Britain and Ireland after the First Wizarding World War. It saw a record-setting turnout, and the victory of write-in candidate Albus Dumbledore, whose incredible popularity following Grindelwald's defeat enabled him to beat even the popular incumbent Leonard Spencer-Moon in an historic upset. Despite this, Dumbledore refused to take office, allowing Spencer-Moon to retain his title. The shocking defeat, however, led Spencer-Moon to an early resignation just two years later, inaugurating the so-called Liberal Era.

It was the last election that saw the complete absence of party politics.
