Background

The elections were the third held under the 1974 Yugoslav Constitution, approved on 31 January 1974, which established a bicameral Parliament with a Federal Chamber of 220 members and a Chamber of Republics and Provinces of 88 members.[1]

Electoral system

The members of the Federal Chamber represented three groups: self-managing organizations, communities and socio-political organizations. 30 members were elected for the six republics and 20 for the two autonomous provinces, Kosovo and Vojvodina.[1]

Elections

The Federal Council was elected between 10 March and 21 April, and the Chamber of Republics and Provinces on 10 May. The Federal Executive Council was elected on 15 May, with Milka Planinc as the President (Prime Minister), becoming Yugoslavia's first female head of government.[2] The Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia was elected between 26 and 29 June, with Mitja Ribičič as the President.
