. It was also believed that the legislature wielded no influence on state policies and served as a rubber-stamp to decisions taken by the party machinery.
Voting was mandatory, and choice of candidates was not offered. The voters were given a ballot paper with a single name and were expected to drop it in the ballot box. Although voters were able to signify dissent by crossing the name off, or by not voting at all, analysts argued that such actions would be considered as an act of treason and incur the wrath of the secret police.
