General elections were held in Cuba on 14 July 1940.[1] Fulgencio Batista won the presidential election running under the People's Socialist Coalition banner. Although the Partido Auténtico emerged as the largest single party in the House of Representatives, Bastista's electoral alliance, the Democratic Socialist Coalition, won a majority of seats. Voter turnout was 73%.[2]
