General Council elections were held in Niger on 15 December 1946, with a second round of voting on 5 January 1947.

The first college was restricted to French citizens and elected ten members from two constituencies.

The second college was for Africans,[2] and elected twenty members from nine constituencies, which were based on the regions, which included Fada N'Gourma and Dori, both of which were transferred to Upper Volta in September 1947.

[1] The campaign for the elections was based primarily on the clientele of local leaders rather than political parties or manifestos.

[2] On 6 February 1952 the Council was converted into the Territorial Assembly,[2] and fresh elections were held in March.
