http://dbpedia.org/resource/1948_Mauritian_general_election
General elections were held in Mauritius in August 1948. They were the first under a new constitution, which established a Legislative Council with 19 elected members, 12 appointed members and 3 ex officio members, and expanded the franchise to all adults who could write their name in one of the island's languages. They were won by the Labour Party led by Guy Rozemont, with eleven of the 19 elected seats won by Hindus. However, the Governor-General Donald Mackenzie-Kennedy appointed twelve conservatives to the Council on 23 August, largely to ensure the dominance of English and French speakers.

They were the first elections held under the new constitution and the first in which women stood as candidate. Emilienne Rochecouste, who ran as an independent, was elected in Plaines Wilhems–Black River, becoming the first Mauritian woman elected to the Legislative Council. Following the elections, Denise De Chazal was appointed as one of the twelve nominated members.

Le parti travailliste mauricien dirigé par Guy Rozemont remporte 11 des 19 sièges élus. Cependant, le gouverneur général (Maurice est alors toujours sous domination britannique) nomme 12 conservateurs au conseil le 23 août. Cela assure la domination des anglophones et des francophones au sein du conseil.
