According to official figures, 99.7 percent of eligible voters turned out to vote, and 99.9 percent of those who voted approved the National Front list. Within the Front, the Communists had a large majority of 216 seats–147 for the main party and 69 for the Slovak branch. Non-Communist members appeared on the National Front list in order to keep up the appearance of pluralism. However, seats were allocated in accordance with a set percentage and no party could take part in the political process without KSČ approval.Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia: Stalinization Library of Congress Country Studies These were the last elections held under the Ninth-of-May Constitution. A month after the elections, the new National Assembly approved a new constitution that proclaimed "socialism has won" in Czechoslovakia, and changed the country's official name to the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. The new document made democratic centralism a part of constitutional law and defined Czechoslovakia as a socialist state under the leadership of the KSČ, codifying the actual state of affairs that had prevailed since the 1948 Communist takeover.
