Since due to several reasons the opposition chose to boycott this election, an amendment concerning the ballot box with no list of candidates was passed, thus dispensing with the distribution of individual parliament posts. The candidates of the Popular Front were thus elected everywhere (even vvhere the majority was won by the so-called »black ballot box).« It is true that beside the Popular Front (with Tito as its leader) the federal list of candidates had also been submitted by the Labour Front with its leader Hadži Todor Dimitrijevič, a writer and a once-time people's deputy from Belgrade, but it was rejected.
The election took place on November 11, 1945. The Communist Party told its activists to do the following: »Each party member is obliged to do his or her best and organise decorated wagons on election day. We have to make sure that each house, be it in town or in a village, displays a flag. We have to organise teams of agitators which will be dispatched to places doing poorly, and thus support our candidates.«
