Шаблон:Politics of Guinea-Bissau

Indirect elections to a National Assembly were held in the parts of Portuguese Guinea held by the rebel African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) between August and October 1972,[1] but not in the Portuguese-controlled areas of Bissau, Bolama, the Bissagos Islands and Bafatá.[2]

A single list of PAIGC candidates for Regional Councils was approved by 97% of voters with a 93.4% turnout.[3] The number of people voting was approximately 32% of the voting-age population.[4]

Electoral system

Voters elected 273 members of 11 regional councils. The elected councillors then convened to elect 91 members of the 120-seat National Assembly. The remaining 29 seats were to represent the four regions still under Portuguese control, and these members were chosen by the PAIGC.[1]

The elections took six weeks, with ballot papers carried around the country on foot. The ballot papers had been printed in neighbouring Guinea.
