The elections took place alongside a multi-question referendum, although several further rounds of voting were required on 28 May, 29 November and 10 December.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p252 978-3-8329-5609-7 The majority of candidates elected were independents, although 62 seats remained unfilled due to insufficient voter turnout. A total of 2,348 candidates and 22 parties contested the election, around a thousand of whom were independents.Belarus: Elections held in 1995 Inter-Parliamentary Union After the planned two rounds, only 119 of the 260 seats had been filled due to turnouts being too low in some areas. As this was well short of the 174 needed for a quorum, an additional two rounds were necessary. By the fourth round a quorum was reached, and although further rounds of voting were planned for 1996 to fill the remaining seats, following the constitutional amendments made following the referendum and the subsequent formation of a new National Assembly, they were not held.Nohlen & Stöver, pp258-259 Foreign observers noted that the elections were not free and fair, while others claimed it to be free but not fair due to Lukashenko's sabotage.
