Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Infobox election
In June 1938, elections took place in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) for the Supreme Soviets of its 11 constituent republics.[1] These elections were held following the adoption of the 1936 Constitution of the Soviet Union, which established a division of government branches into the Executive Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union and Legislative Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union.[2] Consequently, the constitutions of the union republics were amended in 1937 to reflect this separation of powers, leading to the institutionalization of parliamentary structures. The elections were conducted for each of the Supreme Soviets of the USSR's constituent republics. According to Soviet law, approximately 5,100,000 individuals out of a total eligible adult voting population of 93,411,000 were disenfranchised due to various reasons. This marked the first instance of direct elections to these parliamentary bodies, signifying a significant shift in the political landscape of the USSR.[1][3]
