1966 Bulgarian parliamentary election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 27 February 1966.[1] Voters were presented with a single list from the Fatherland Front, dominated by the Bulgarian Communist Party. As the Fatherland Front was the only organisation to contest the election and all candidate lists had to be approved by the Front, voters only had the option of voting for or against the Front list.[2] Only 2,089 of the 5,746,161 valid votes were cast against the Front list. Voter turnout was reportedly 99.6%.[3]
