Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria between 6 and 27 March 1938, the first after the 1934 coup.[1] The elections were held on a non-partisan basis, with the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union and Bulgarian Communist Party banned.[2] Pro-government candidates won a majority of seats.[3] Voter turnout was 69.5%.[4]
Women were allowed to vote – for the first time – if they were married, divorced or widowed.[5]
