All prospective candidates had to accept the program of the Patriotic People's Front, which was dominated by the HSWP. While it was possible for more than one candidate to run in a constituency, only 49 of the 352 constituencies had more than one candidate.

The new parliament re-regulated the operation of economic cooperatives in 1971. The Health Act stipulated that providing care was the state's responsibility and that citizens had a duty to take care of their own health and that of their environment. The method of marriage was re-regulated in 1974, the equality of spouses and the rights of children were ensured, and the legal framework of guardianship was clarified. Before the next election modified the term of the next parliament from 4 to 5 years.
