The Polish legislative election in 1972 was the sixth election to Sejm, held on March 19. The turnout was 97.9%.
The results, like with the other elections in communist Poland, were controlled by the communist government. The results of the 1965 election would be duplicated, exactly, by the 1969 and 1972 elections. The results of the next, 1976 election, would be only marginally different.
The results were as follows:[1]
| Party | Ideology | Seats | % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polish United Workers' Party | Communism | 255 | 55.4% | |
| United People's Party | Agrarianism | 117 | 25.4% | |
| Independents | – | 49 | 10.7% | |
| Democratic Party | Centrism | 39 | 8.5% | |
| Total | 460 | |||
As the other parties and "independents" were in fact subordinate to PZPR, its control of the Sejm was, in fact, total.[2][1]
The turnout of the election was 97.9%.
