Boundary and franchise changes

The Sixth Delimitation Commission (1932) expanded the House of Assembly from 148 to 150 seats, the size it would remain for the next twenty years. The apportionment between the provinces was changed significantly, with the Cape and Transvaal both gaining seats at the expense of the Orange Free State and Natal.

This was the first election held following the passage of the Women's Enfranchisement Act, 1930 and the Franchise Laws Amendment Act, 1931, which in combination gave the vote to all white citizens above the age of 21. A small number of non-white citizens of the Cape Province and Natal retained the right to vote, subject to pre-existing qualifications.[1]
