The Polish legislative election of 1947 was held on January 19, 1947 in the People''s Republic of Poland. The anti-communist opposition candidates and activists were persecuted and the eventual results were falsified. According to the official results, the communist-controlled "Democratic Bloc" (Blok Demokratyczny), composed of the Polish Workers Party (PPR), Polish Socialist Party (PPS), Popular Party (SL), and Democratic Party (SD) and non-partisan candidates, gained 80.1% votes (390 out of 444 seats). In fact, the "Democratic Bloc" gained only about 50% of the votes. The elections were not free, as opposition candidates were discriminated against and the votes were rigged. Nonetheless, the election gave the Soviet Union and its Polish satellite communist government enough legitimacy to claim that Poland was ''free and democratic'', and allowing Polandto sign the charter of the United Nations. The 1947 elections would mark the beginning of the ''election farce'' of every Polish election until the fall of communism in 1989 would be falsified in a similar way.
