1981 Czechoslovak parliamentary election Turnout 99.51%
Parliamentary elections were held in
Czechoslovakia on 5 and 6 June 1981.
[1] The
National Front put forward a single list of candidates for both the House of the People (the lower house) and the House of Nations (the upper house) and one NF candidate ran in each single member constituency.
[2] With a total of 350 seats in the two Houses, 240 were assigned to the
Communist Party of Czechoslovakia , 18 to the
Czechoslovak People's Party , 18 to the
Czechoslovak Socialist Party , four to the
Party of Slovak Revival , four to the
Freedom Party and 66 to independents.
[1] Voter turnout was reported to be 99.51%.
[1]
Like the other elections of the
Communist era , the result was a
foregone conclusion . People were afraid not to vote, and when they did so, those who entered a voting booth to modify their ballot paper could expect to be persecuted by the state.
