General elections were held in Tanzania on 27 October 1985. The country was a one-party state at the time, with the Chama Cha Mapinduzi as the sole legal party. For the National Assembly election there were two candidates from the same party in each constituency, whilst the presidential election was effectively a referendum on CCM's candidate Ali Hassan Mwinyi, who succeeded Julius Nyerere as president. Voter turnout was 74% in the National Assembly election and 75% in the presidential election.

dbo:abstract
  • El 27 d'octubre de 1985 es van celebrar eleccions generals en Tanzània. El país era un estat unipartidista en aquest moment, amb el Partit de la Revolució (CCM) com a únic partit legal. Per a l'elecció de l'Assemblea Nacional hi havia dos candidats del mateix partit en cada circumscripció, mentre que l'elecció presidencial va ser, en realitat, un referèndum sobre el candidat del CCM, Ali Hassan Mwinyi, que va succeir a Julius Nyerere com a president. Es van introduir diversos canvis en les eleccions, entre ells l'augment del nombre de circumscripcions electorals de 106 a 119, la supressió dels 20 escons regionals triats pels parlamentaris i la introducció de 15 escons reservats per a les dones. La va reduir l'edat de votar de 21 a 18 anys, i una esmena constitucional de l'any anterior havia limitat al president a dos mandats. La participació dels votants va ser del 74% en les eleccions a l'Assemblea Nacional i del 75% en les presidencials. (ca)
  • General elections were held in Tanzania on 27 October 1985. The country was a one-party state at the time, with the Chama Cha Mapinduzi as the sole legal party. For the National Assembly election there were two candidates from the same party in each constituency, whilst the presidential election was effectively a referendum on CCM's candidate Ali Hassan Mwinyi, who succeeded Julius Nyerere as president. Several changes were made to the elections, including increasing the number of constituencies from 106 to 119, scrapping the 20 regional seats elected by MPs, and the introduction of 15 reserved seats for women. The voting age was reduced from 21 to 18 by the 1985 Elections Act, and a constitutional amendment the previous year had limited the president to two terms. Voter turnout was 74% in the National Assembly election and 75% in the presidential election. (en)
