[1] Voters were presented with a single list from the National Front, dominated by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ).

[1] Within the Front, the Communists had a large majority of 216 seats–147 for the main party and 69 for the Slovak branch.

However, seats were allocated in accordance with a set percentage and no party could take part in the political process without KSČ approval.

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.
