Background A new electoral law was adopted in September 1953, introducing several reforms. Independent candidates could self-nominate with either the support of a voters' meeting or 200 signatures, rather than having to be nominated by the Socialist Alliance. It was also required that there be at least two candidates in each constituency. For the first time, paper ballots were used, with voters marking their ballot paper in closed booths.Fred Warner Neal (1958) Titoism in Action: The Reforms in Yugoslavia After 1948 pp222–223 The 282 deputies of the Federal Assembly included 116 from Serbia, 66 from Croatia, 48 from Bosnia and Herzegovina, 24 from Slovenia, 21 from Macedonia and 7 from Montenegro.Dolf Sternberger Bernhard Vogel Dieter Nohlen Europa https://books.google.com/books?id=qn3AilC1dBkC&pg=PA775 July 1969 Walter de Gruyter 978-3-11-001156-2 775 Results With multiple candidates allowed, the elections saw some serious contests, with 14 non-Alliance candidates running in Macedonia, although two of them were withdrawn shortly before election day.
