The Polish legislative election in 1980 was the seventh election to Sejm, held on March 23. The turnout was 98.9%.
The results, like with the other elections in communist Poland, were controlled by the communist government. The results of the 1976 election would be duplicated, exactly, by the 1980 election, and were only marginally different from those of the preceding years. The election of 1985 once again produced only marginally different results.
The results were as follows:[1]
| Party | Seats | % | |
| Polish United Workers' Party | 261 | 56,7% | |
| United People's Party | 113 | 24,6% | |
| Independents | 49 | 10,7% | |
| Democratic Party (Poland) | 37 | 8% |
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 98.9%.
