1994 Dominican Republic general election
Presidential election ← 1990 1996 → Turnout 87.91% (pp )
General elections were held in the Dominican Republic on 16 May 1994. Joaquín Balaguer of the Social Christian Reformist Party won the presidential election, whilst the Dominican Revolutionary Party -led alliance won the Congressional elections. Voter turnout was 87.6%.
Despite reforms after the 1990 elections , including a new electoral roll, these elections were also branded fraudulent. Following the election an agreement known as the Pact for Democracy (Pacto por la Democracia ) was reached, which shortened the presidential term to two years, allowing new elections to be held in 1996 in which Balaguer would not run (for the first time since 1966).
