1945 Portuguese legislative election
Parliamentary elections were held in Portugal on 18 November 1945. Following reforms introduced by António de Oliveira Salazar, they were the first elections in the Estado Novo to allow opposition parties. The Movement of Democratic Unity was formed by opposition activists, but alongside all opposition candidates, they withdrew from the election before polling day, alleging electoral fraud. As a result, only candidates of the National Union contested the election.
