1948 Dutch Senate election

Elections for all 50 seats in the Senate of the Netherlands were held on 8 July 1948.
Senators were elected by provincial councils in four "electoral groups". Group I comprised North Brabant, Zeeland, Utrecht and Limburg; group II comprised Gelderland, Overijssel, Groningen and Drenthe; group III comprised North Holland and Friesland; and group IV comprised South Holland. Within each electoral group, Senators were elected by provincial councils using party-list proportional representation. Provincial councillors' votes were weighted to their province's population.
As Senators were elected by the same provincial councillors as in the previous 1946 Senate election, no seats changed hands. The incumbent government, consisting of the Catholic People's Party and the Labour Party retained its combined majority of 31 seats.
