1985 Burmese general election

General elections were held in Burma between 6 and 20 October 1985.[1] The country was a one-party state at the time, with the Burma Socialist Programme Party as the sole legal party.[2] It therefore won all 489 seats in the People's Assembly. They were the last elections held before the 8888 Uprising, and thus the last held before the Burma Socialist Programme Party dissolved and, accordingly, the People's Assembly was abolished.
