1976 Egyptian parliamentary election


Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 28 October 1976, with a second round in four constituencies on 4 November. Unlike previous elections in which the Arab Socialist Union was the sole legal party, this election saw three factions of the party compete against each other, together with 208 independents.
Two candidates were elected from each of the 175 constituencies, with a second round of voting required if one or both of the candidates failed to win over 50% of the vote in the first round, or neither of the candidates with over 50% were classed as a worker or farmer. Following the election, a further 10 members were appointed by the President.
The result was a victory for the Arab Socialist Organisation, which won 295 of the 360 seats. Voter turnout was just 39.77%.
