1859 Costa Rican general election
General elections were held in Costa Rica between 3 and 7 April 1859. Juan Rafael Mora Porras, hero of the Filibuster War, was re-elected for a third time. However, Mora would not finish his term because he would be overthrown by his political opponents on 14 August later the same year.
The 1859 constitution in force at that time only allowed men over 25 years old and owners of a property valued at least 200 pesos to cast the vote.
