Parliamentary elections were held in Czechoslovakia on 12 June 1960.[1] Voters were presented with a single list from the National Front, dominated by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ).[1] According to official figures, 99.7 percent of eligible voters turned out to vote, and 99.9 percent of those who voted approved the National Front list.[1] Within the Front, the Communists had a large majority of 216 seats–147 for the main party and 69 for the Slovak branch.
Non-Communist members appeared on the National Front list in order to keep up the appearance of pluralism. However, seats were allocated in accordance with a set percentage, and no party could take part in the political process without KSČ approval.[2]
These was the last elections held under the Ninth-of-May Constitution. A month after the elections, the new National Assembly approved a new constitution that proclaimed "socialism has won" in Czechoslovakia, and changed the country's official name to the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. The new document made democratic centralism a part of constitutional law and defined Czechoslovakia as a socialist state under the leadership of the KSČ, codifying the actual state of affairs that had prevailed since the 1948 Communist takeover.[3]
