  • An election of a Constituent Assembly was carried out in Portugal on April 25 of 1975, exactly one year after the Carnation Revolution and was the first free election in fifty years, the first in the new democratic regime created after the revolution which made the turnout the highest ever. The main aim of the election was the election of a Constituent Assembly, in order to write a new Constitution to replace the Fascist Constitution of 1933 and so, the elected parliament had a single year mandate and no government was based on the parliament support, the country continued to be governed by a military-civilian provisional administration. The election was, perhaps surprisingly, won by the Socialist Party. The Social Democratic Party was the second most voted party, defending a project that it would soon abandon, the social-democracy becoming the major right-wing party in the country a few years after. The parliament had a large majority of parties defending socialist or "democratic socialist" ideas and the Constitution, approved one year after, reflected such influence. The Portuguese Communist Party achieved a surprisingly low voting, considering the overwhelming support in the south of the country and the radical turn to the left of the revolutionary process after the failed fascist coup, one month before. The major parties involved and the respective leaders: Portuguese Communist Party (PCP), Álvaro Cunhal Portuguese Democratic Movement (MDP), José Manuel Tengarrinha Portuguese Socialist Party (PS), Mário Soares Social Democratic Party (PSD), Francisco Sá Carneiro Democratic Social Center (CDS), Freitas do Amaral
  • Les eleccions legislatives portugueses de 1975 es van celebrar el 25 d'abril de 1975, un any després de la revolució dels clavells, per tal de formar una Assemblea Constituent per tal que redactés una nova constitució per a Portugal.
  • Les élections à l'Assemblée constituante du Portugal se sont tenues le 25 avril 1975, un an jour pour jour après la révolution des Œillets. Il y avait 250 sièges à pourvoir. Le taux de participation s'est élevé à 91,66% des inscrits. Le Parti socialiste, fondé en 1973 à Bad Münstereifel par Mario Soares, remporte les premières élections organisées depuis la chute du régime de l'Estado Novo mais sans disposer de la majorité absolue. Cependant, la seule fonction de l'Assemblée étant de rédiger une nouvelle Constitution, il n'était pas nécessaire de former une coalition gouvernementale, même si les trois gouvernements qui se succédèrent au cours de la Législature constituante tenaient compte de la répartition des forces politiques.
  • As eleições legislativas portuguesas de 1975 foram as primeiras eleições livres com sufrágio universal realizadas no país. Foram também as primeiras eleições após o golpe de estado de 25 de abril de 1974. Realizaram-se no dia 25 de abril de 1975 e elegeram os 250 deputados da Assembleia Constituinte. Os resultados deram maioria aos partidos do centro: Partido Socialista e Partido Popular Democrático. A Assembleia Constituinte entrou em funções em 2 de junho de 1975 e foi dissolvida em 2 de abril de 1976, data de conclusão dos trabalhos de elaboração da Constituição.
