1950 East German state elections|
|
|
State elections were held in East Germany on 15 October 1950. They were the last state elections in the country, as the states were dissolved in 1952.
Voters were presented with a single list from the Socialist Unity Party of Germany-dominated National Front, which they could only approve or reject. The seat allocation in each of the state parliaments was agreed in advance between the constituent parties and mass organizations of the Front.[1]
