General elections were held in Liberia in 1923. In the presidential elections, the result was a victory for Charles D. B. King of the True Whig Party, who was re-elected for a second term,[1] defeating Samuel G. Harmon of the People's Party.[2] The results of the election were rigged, with King receiving 45,000 votes, despite there being only 6,000 Liberians eligible to vote.[3]
