Parliamentary elections were held in Romania on 30 November 1952, the first under the 1952 constitution. The Democratic People's Front was the only party to contest the election, and won all 428 seats in the Great National Assembly.

Electoral system

The new constitution was promulgated on 24 September 1952 and three days later a new electoral law was passed. Under the new system candidates were elected in single member constituencies, and had to receive over 50% of the vote. If no candidate passed this threshold, or if voter turnout in the constituency was less than 50%, re-runs were held until the requirements were met. Candidates could be nominated by the Democratic People's Front or mass organisations, although the latter were monitored by the Front.
