The United States believed (correctly) that if they allowed the South Vietnamese to vote in 1954-56, they would vote for reunification with the Communist North under the Communist government. Desiring to prevent the expansion of Communism, the US refused to allow the election to take place.

Who broke the Geneva accords by not allowing free elections in south Vietnam?

Supposed free elections were held in South Vietnam for South Vietnamese candidates only. However, an election for the unification of Vietnam was refused by the then South Vietnamese government due to the fact that the Communist regime of the North would not allow an International Committee to supervise the ballot. Therefore, the North refused scrutiny of their so called free elections. It is interesting to note that there is a substantial amount of evidence that suggests that the South Vietnamese elections were rigged and the count doctored. Further to this, the North Vietnamese held an election in 1960 where constituents had only one party to choose from, the VFF. Hardly a free election. Unsurprisingly, they won all seats.
