1947 Hungarian Parliamentary Election
Parliamentary elections, which later became known as the ''"blue-ballot" elections'', were held in Hungary on 31 August 1947.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A Data Handbook'', p. 899 The Hungarian Communist Party, which had lost the previous election, consolidated its power in the interim using salami tactics. Communist-led political intrigues had deprived their opposition of its democratically won mandate from 1945, as numerous prominent anti-Communists were removed from office on charges of conspiracy. These conspiracies reached a climax in late May 1947, when the Hungarian Communist Party deposed the democratically elected prime minister Ferenc Nagy in a coup d'état, removing one of the strongest opponents to their rule and crippling the opposition. This weakening of the opposition, combined with a revised electoral law, led to further Communist gains. This would be the last remotely competitive election held in Hungary until 1990.
