National Assembly elections were held in areas controlled by North Vietnam on 6 January 1946. The only elections held under the 1946 constitution, they resulted in a victory for the communist Viet Minh, which won 182 of the 302 seats, although the distribution of seats between parties had been decided before the elections. The ballot was not secret and ballot papers were filled out in the presence of aides who were "to help comrades who had difficulty in making out their ballots."
