Parliamentary elections were held in Togo on 24 March 1985. The country was a one-party state at the time, with the Rally of the Togolese People as the sole legal party. Unlike the previous election in 1979 when a single list of candidates was presented to voters for approval, this election was contested by 216 candidates running for 77 seats and 22 reserve members.[1] Voter turnout was reported to be 78.6%.[2]
