General elections were held in Liberia in 1927. In the presidential election, the result was a victory for Charles D. B. King of the True Whig Party, who was re-elected for a third term after defeating Thomas J. Faulkner of the People's Party. However, the vote was referred to as "the most rigged ever" by Francis Johnson-Morris, a modern head of the country's National Election Commission, and also made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the most fraudulent ever, as despite there being fewer than 15,000 registered voters in the country at the time, King received around 240,000 votes, compared to 9,000 for Faulkner.
