The Fatherland Front was the only organisation to contest the election and nominated one candidate for each constitutency. Of the 400 candidates 268 were members of the Bulgarian Communist Party, 100 were members of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union and the remaining 32 were unaffiliated.[2] Voter turnout was reportedly 99.9%.[3]
