Elections to the Constituent Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic took place on Sunday, May 26, 1946. These were the first elections in Czechoslovakia after the Second World War, after the displacement of Germans mainly from the Sudetenland, the only one before the communists came to power, and are often referred to as the last free democratic elections for more than than forty years.  It should be noted that these were not completely free elections, as only National Front parties could participate in the voting, for example some right-wing parties were not allowed to run for office at all.  Moreover, after the elections, the existence of the opposition was not expected, the elections were only supposed to determine the balance of power in the government of the National Front. The winner of the election was the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, followed by the Czechoslovak National Socialist Party, the Czechoslovak People's Party, the Democratic Party, the Czechoslovak Social Democracy and three smaller Slovak parties. Shortly before the election, voting age was lowered from 21 to 18. A total of 7,099,411 voters voted in the election. The Communist Party achieved the best results in the Czech lands in the districts from where the original German population was displaced.  Although the Democratic Party won the majority of votes (61.43%) in Slovakia, the election of the KSC (Czechoslovak Communist Party) in the Czech lands meant its demise and the KSC thus gained power in the whole of Czechoslovakia (Wiki).
