Parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 25 September 1932.[1] All 254 seats in the Lower House of the Greek Parliament , the Vouli , were elected, as well as one-third of the seats in the Senate . The outcome was an ambivalent result for the two biggest parties, the Liberal Party of Eleftherios Venizelos and the People's Party . The People's Party received a plurality of votes in the Lower House elections, but won fewer seats than the Liberal Party .[2] The Liberals also won the most seats in the Senate.
These were the last elections for the Senate , as it was abolished in 1935.
