Polish legislative election, 1935
The Polish legislative election, 1935 took place on 8 to 15 September of that year. It was the next to last election held in the Second Polish Republic.
The election was held under the April Constitution, drawn up earlier in 1935 by the Sanation (Sanacja) movement, which structured the election rules in its favor. In protest of this, the election was boycotted by opposition factions, and voter turnout was only 46.6%, the lowest in the history of the Second Republic.
The "Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government" (Bezpartyjny Blok Współpracy z Rządem), the political arm of Sanacja, won 153 seats out of 208 in the Sejm (lower house) and 60 out of 64 seats in the Senate of Poland. The remaining seats went to independents not affiliated with any party.
