All Spain elections

1971 Spanish General Election

29 September 1971 · The Francoist Cortes · 104 seats

To be eligible to vote, citizens must be heads of families, married women, or widows. To be eligible to be a candidate, citizens must be born in a province they are running in, have resided in the province for at least seven years since the age of 14, be supported by 1,000 electors of 0.5 percent of the province's population, and be a member of the National Movement.

A Francoist 'organic democracy' vote: no parties, no opposition, and only a fraction of a corporatist Cortes elected by heads of family. Recorded here as a ritual of the dictatorship, not an election.
