Summary: In costa Rica, with the end of the Civil War of 1948 and the establishment of the Government Board presided by José Figueres Ferrer in 1948, a series of electoral and legal events took place and it is important to remember them since they legitimize the government of Otilio Ulate Blanco (1949-1953). This work addresses the elections that took place between December 1948 and October 1949, organized by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE). These elections have been “forgotten”, not ignored in national history. The distinctive feature of theses processes, with old and new rules of the political and electoral game, leads us to conclude that the power given to the TSE in those first moments made it possible for the rule of law to return to politics and to the future electoral peace of the country to this date
