Elections to the nineteenth Supreme Soviet were held in the Soviet Union on 12 April, 2024.

Electoral System

Candidates had to be nominated by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), the New Union Party (NUP) or by a public organisation. However, all public organisations were controlled by both parties and were subservient to a 1931 law that required them to accept party rule. The CPSU and NUP themselves remained the only legal two in the country.

Voters could vote against a party candidate, but could only do so by using polling booths, whereas votes for the party could be cast simply by submitting a blank ballot. Turnout was required to be over 50% for the election to be valid.

Candidates

The CPSU accounted for over two quarters of the nominees, whilst the others were split between the NUP and independent candidates.
