Romanian legislative election, 1965
Parliamentary elections were held in Romania on 7 March 1965.[1] Voters were presented with a single list from the People's Democratic Front,[2] which was dominated by the Romanian Workers Party.[3] The Front won 465 seats in the Great National Assembly.[4]
Electoral system
Candidates were elected in single member constituencies, and had to receive over 50% of the vote.[5] If no candidate passed this threshold, or if voter turnout in the constituency was less than 50%, re-runs were held until the requirements were met.[5] Candidates could be nominated by the People's Democratic Front or mass organisations, although the latter were monitored by the Front.[5] Voters had the option of voting against the Front candidates.[2]
