From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parliamentary elections were held in the People's Republic of Serbia on 10 November 1946 to elect the 287 members of the constituent assembly.[1]

Background

[edit]

The second session of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia held on 29 and 30 November 1943 resulted in a decision to form a federal Yugoslav state, each of which would have its own national assembly. In November 1944 a Great Anti-fascist People's Liberation Assembly was held in Serbia, with 989 delegates nominated by the People's Liberation Committees and the People's Liberation Front.[2] The delegates elected 278 members from amongst themselves to form the Anti-fascist Assembly of People's Liberation of Serbia.[2] In April 1945 the Assembly was renamed the National Assembly of Serbia.[2]

Prior to the elections taking place, the National Assembly passed an electoral law in July 1946.[2]

Results

[edit]

Of the 3,776,615 registered voters, 3,428,507 (91%) voted.[1] Nine women were elected.[2]

Aftermath

[edit]

The National Assembly produced and adopted a new constitution, promulgating it on 17 January 1947.[2]
