The Vietnamese election scheduled for 1956 did not occur primarily due to escalating tensions between the communist North, led by Ho Chi Minh, and the anti-communist South, supported by the United States. The South, led by President Ngo Dinh Diem, feared that a nationwide election would result in a victory for the communists, undermining their regime. Additionally, the Geneva Accords, which temporarily divided Vietnam at the 17th parallel, called for elections but lacked enforcement mechanisms, allowing both sides to avoid compliance. As a result, the political climate remained unstable, leading to increased conflict and eventual war.
South Vietnamese President Diem postponed those elections due to excessive communist influence.
The next national congressional election will occur in November of 2010; the next presidential election will occur in 2012.
The first U. S. Presidential election after people born in 1956 were of legal voting age was the election of 1976.
