Parliamentary elections were held in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes on 18 March 1923.Dolf Sternberger, Bernhard Vogel, Dieter Nohlen, Klaus Landfried (1969) Die Wahl der Parlamente und andere Staatsorgane, Walter de Gruyter, p783 The seats were divided up by the political borders which existed before the Kingdom's formation and distributed using the population statistics of 1910.
According to a TIME Magazine article published in the week following the election, the poll was marred by voter intimidation by the military police, suppression of the opposition and the disenfranchisement of ethnic minorities like the Hungarians and the Turks.Balkan Politics, TIME Magazine, March 31, 1923
After the elections, an opposition Federalist Bloc was formed from the Croatian Republican Peasant Party, Slovenian People's Party and Yugoslav Muslim Organization.
