The first Kolkata Municipal Election was held on 16 April 1924, during the time of British India, under the Calcutta Municipal Act, 1923 - Bengal Act III of 1923.[1] Mayors were elected on an annual basis. No corporation elections were held, therefore there was no mayor, from 1948 to 1952.[1] In 1952 further mayors were appointed on an annual basis under the Calcutta Municipal Act, West Bengal Act XXXIII of 1951.[1] There was another break in mayoral elections from 1972 to 1985, after which mayors were elected on a five year term under the Calcutta Municipal Corporation Act, 1980 West Bengal Act LIX of 1980.[1]
