1987 Albanian parliamentary election explained

Parliamentary elections were held in the People's Socialist Republic of Albania on 1 February 1987.[1] The Democratic Front, a mass organization of the Party of Labour of Albania, was the only political force able to contest the elections, and subsequently won all 250 seats.[2] Voter turnout was reported to be 100%, with all registered voters voting.[3] A single ballot, which was characterized by The Guardian's Simon Tisdall as belonging to "a lone voice of protest", was voided: the Albanian Telegraphic Agency stated that it was invalid and made no further comment.[4]
