General elections were held in Cuba on 3 November 1958.[1] The three major presidential candidates were Carlos Márquez-Sterling of the Partido del Pueblo Libre, Ramón Grau of the Partido Auténtico and Andrés Rivero Agüero of the Coalición Progresista Nacional. There was also a minor party candidate on the ballot, Alberto Salas Amaro for the Union Cubana party. Voter turnout was estimated at about 50% of eligible voters.[2] However, he was unable to take office due to the Cuban Revolution.[3]
