Overview

The 1966 Supreme Soviet election returned the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) to all 526 seats, preserving its outright majority (264‑seat threshold). With a net change of 0, the chamber remains a single‑party legislature.

The Chamber

All 526 seats are held by the CPSU, giving it a 100 % share of the Supreme Soviet. The party’s seat total matches the “seatsContested” figure and exceeds the required majority of 264, so the government continues as a one‑party monopoly rather than a coalition or hung parliament. No other parties appear in the seatBalance or seatChange data, confirming that the CPSU is the sole parliamentary force.

What Moved

The seatChange bar shows a net 0 change for the CPSU, and the “swings” list is empty, indicating no measurable gains or losses for any faction. Every constituency unit (CEN, NWR, NOR, CBE, VOL, NCA, URA, WSB, ESB, FEA, KAZ, TRA, CAS, MOL) reports “no change” in its delta text, confirming a static distribution of seats across the entire federation.

Seats to Watch

The “closest” table highlights the constituencies with the smallest victory margins, though even the tightest race—MOL—still delivered a CPSU plurality with a 9 % margin. The next‑closest contests are NOR (17 % margin), FEA (18 % margin), ESB (21 % margin), CBE (30 % margin), and KAZ (30 % margin). All of these margins are reported as unchanged from the previous cycle, underscoring the uniformity of CPSU dominance throughout the union.
