The 6th Legislature of the Third Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: VI Legislatura da Terceira República Portuguesa) ran from 4 November 1991 to 26 October 1995. This legislature saw a reduction in the total number of elected MPs, from 250 to 230, following a constitutional review in 1989.[2] The composition of the Assembly of the Republic, the legislative body of Portugal, was determined by the results of the 1991 legislative election, held on 6 October 1991.
The 7th Portuguese legislative election was held on 6 October 1991. In the election, the Social Democratic Party (PPD/PSD) won for the third consecutive time and renewed the absolute majority achieved four years earlier.[3]
