Parliamentary elections were held in Portugal on 28 October 1973.^[1] After the only opposition party withdrew from the election, the People's National Action (ANP) was the only list to contest the election, winning all 150 seats. The 1973 election would be the last held under the Estado Novo, as five months later, the Carnation Revolution would bring down the regime. In 1975, the Constituent Assembly of Portugal was elected in the first democratic elections since 1925.
