How many seats did the Austrian legislative party first named the Communist Party of German-Austria gain in 1945?
Austrian legislative election, 1945 The elections to the Austrian National Council held on 25 November 1945 were the first after World War II. The elections were held according to the Austrian election law of 1929, with all citizens at least 21 years old eligible to vote, however former Nazis were banned from voting, official sources putting their numbers at around 200,000. The Communist Party of Austria only gained four seats, which some blamed on the conduct of the Red Army in the Soviet occupied zone of Austria. This was highly embarrassing for the Communists, who had assured the Soviets that they could win as much as 30 percent of the vote. This proved to be the beginning of a long decline for the Communists, though they stayed in the chamber until May 1959.
Hungarian parliamentary election, 1958 Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary on 16 November 1958. They were the first elections held after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The Communist Hungarian Working People's Party had been reorganized as the Hungarian Socialist Workers' Party, under the leadership of a more moderate Communist, János Kádár. However, as was the case during the era of Mátyás Rákosi, voters were presented with a single list of Communists and pro-Communist independents. The Socialist Workers' Party won 276 of the 338 seats, with the remaining 62 going to independents.
