Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 24 December 1939, although voting continued in some areas into January 1940.[1] The elections were officially held on a non-partisan basis with the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union and Bulgarian Communist Party banned,[2] and in a process tightly controlled by Tsar Boris III, by then the real power in the country.[3] However, candidates representing parties did contest the elections.[4] Pro-government candidates won a majority of seats.[5] Voter turnout was 67.2%.[6]
