1961 Polish Parliamentary Election

16 April 1961 · The People's Republic · 460 seats

The 1961 elections followed the liberalized rules prepared for those in 1957, but compared to the situation five years ago, the Polish society was much more apathetic and disappointed with the government.

A single-list vote of the communist People's Republic, with no opposition permitted. Recorded here as history, not as an election.
