Parliamentary elections were held in Vietnam on 6 January 1946, in all localities, even in fighting regions of Southern, Southern Central and Central Highlands areas. The result was a victory for the Indochinese Communist Party-Vietnam Workers' Party, which won 182 of the 302 seats, although the distribution of seats had been decided before the elections. The ballot was not secret, and ballot papers were filled in in the presence of aides who were "to help comrades who had difficulty in making out their ballots."
