1936 German Federal Election
Single-list vote29 March 1936 · The destruction of democracy · 741 seats, 371 for a majority
Parliamentary elections were held in Germany on 29 March 1936. They took the form of a single-question referendum, asking voters whether they approved of the military occupation of the Rhineland and a single party list for the new Reichstag composed exclusively of Nazis and 19 nominally independent "guests" of the party.
This was a single-list vote under a dictatorship, with no opposition permitted. It is recorded here as history, not as a free election.
