General elections were held in Uruguay on 30 November 1958, alongside a constitutional referendum.[1] Following the end of a schism between the National Party and the Independent National Party, the National Party received almost half the vote, winning a majority of seats in the National Council of Government, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, and allowing it to lead the government for the first time since 1865.[2]
