Parliamentary elections were held in Cape Verde in June 1975 in preparation for independence from Portugal on 5 July. The African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde was the sole legal party at the time,[1] with voters being asked to approve or reject a PAIGC list of 56 members for the National People's Assembly. The list was approved by 95.6% of voters, with a turnout of 86.7%.[2]
