Soviet Union holds one candidate ballots in nation wide vote
About 150 million voters were to cast ballots for 2.2 million nominees to regional parliaments across the USSR in a ceremony described as decided in advance. Tass noted over half the candidates were non Communist but all were selected in party processes with a single candidate per seat. Brezhnev urged a ban on new mass destruction weapons while predicting unity for the USSR. Voting is compulsory with near universal turnout and ballots allow crossing out names behind a curtain.
