General elections were held in Lebanon between 9 and 23 June 1957. Independent candidates, nearly all pro-president, won the majority of seats. Voter turnout was 53.2%.
With the support of Lebanese President Camille Chamoun CIA money was used to support selected candidates. CIA operative Wilbur Crane Eveland wrote that he would regularly drive to the Chamoun's presidential residence with "a briefcase full of Lebanese pounds" to be spent on the elections. American oil companies doing business in Lebanon also contributed funding.
