'''Parliamentary elections''' were held in [[Czechoslovakia]] on 23 and 24 May 1986.<ref name=IPU>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/CZECHOSLOVAKIA_1986_E.PDF Czechoslovakia] Inter-Parliamentary Union</ref> The [[National Front (Czechoslovakia)|National Front]] put forward a single list of candidates for both the House of the People (the lower house) and the House of Nations (the upper house) and one NF candidate ran in each single member constituency.<ref name=DN>[[Dieter Nohlen|Nohlen, D]] & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p465 ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7</ref> With a total of 350 seats in the two Houses, 242 were assigned to the [[Communist Party of Czechoslovakia]], 18 to the [[Czechoslovak People's Party]], 18 to the [[Czech National Social Party|Czechoslovak Socialist Party]], four to the [[Party of Slovak Revival]], four to the [[Freedom Party (Slovakia)|Freedom Party]] and 64 to independents.<ref name=IPU/> Voter turnout was reported to be 99.39%.<ref name=IPU/> |

<!-- Note that Czechoslovakian is the OLD common English demonym, Czechoslovak is the most proper adjective as there are Czechs and Slovaks (not Slovakians!) The same applies for Slovakia - It is officially the Slovak Republic, not Slovakian Republic! (check dictionary for proof) --> |

Like the other elections of the Communist era, the result was a foregone conclusion. People were afraid not to vote, and when they did so, those who entered a voting booth to modify their ballot paper could expect to be persecuted by the state.<ref>Nohlen & Stöver, p457</ref> |
