General elections were held in Costa Rica on 7 April 1910. Liberal lawyer Ricardo Jiménez Oreamuno was elected for the first time (he would subsequently be re-elected two more times, the only person in Costa Rica's history to be democratically elected three times). Jiménez was very popular in part because of his struggles against the United Fruit Company's abusive operations in the country. Jiménez was proclaimed candidate in the Teatro Variedades during the first Republican National Convention, Costa Rica's first primary election. Jiménez won easily over the other candidate, former president Rafael Yglesias who ruled an authoritarian, though short-lived, regime.
The 1910 elections were the last under an indirect electoral system and for the next elections in 1913 the direct vote was implemented.
