Supreme Soviet elections were held in the Soviet Union on 10 February 1946.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p1642 Originally scheduled for December 1941, the elections were delayed due to the outbreak of war with Germany in June of that year. According to Soviet law, 325,000 out of an eligible adult population of 101,718,000 were disenfranchised for various reasons. This election was the first in which a 1945 decree allowed members of the Red Army stationed outside the Soviet Union to vote for both chambers of the Supreme Soviet in special 100,000-member districts, a practice which would continue for decades with the Red Army presence in the Eastern bloc.
