Background
San Marino had been close to a civil war in 1921, with Socialist red forces on one side, and Christian Democratic white forces on the opposite side together with the Conservatives. The situation was so explosive that the government introduced a six-month censorship,
When Benito Mussolini rose to power in Rome, he immediately managed to take control over the small republic of San Marino. The old Council was forcibly disbanded on 27 January 1923, and a snap election was consequently called. Fascist threats obtained their goal: the Socialist Party did not take part to the election and a sole, centre-right list called Patriotic Bloc ran undisputed. The Bloc was obviously dominated by the Sammarinese Fascist Party, which obtained the majority of seats together with their puppets Volunteers of War. The turnout was very low, with leftist electors boycotting the vote.
Twenty-nine year old
Electoral system
Voters had to be citizens of San Marino, male, the head of the family and 24 years old.
