1929 Italian General Election

Single-list plebiscite

24 March 1929 · The Fascist plebiscites · 400 seats, 201 for a majority

Following a parliamentary reform enacted in 1928 by the Chamber of Deputies and Senate, the elections were held in the form of a referendum, with the Grand Council of the PNF, now an official state organ, allowed to compose a single party list to be either approved or rejected by the voters. The list put forward was ultimately approved by 98.43% of voters.

This was a single-list vote under a dictatorship, with no opposition permitted. It is recorded here as history, not as a free election.
