Parliamentary elections were held in Vietnam on 25 April 1976, the first after the country was de facto reunited following the North's military victory over the South the previous year. The Vietnamese Fatherland Front was the only party to contest the election, and won all 492 seats. Voter turnout was reported to be 99%. The elections led to the official reunification of Vietnam on 2 July 1976.

Candidates

In what had been North Vietnam, the Workers' Party of Vietnam and other groups nominated 308 candidates for the 249 seats, while in the south, the Alliance of National, Democratic and Peaceful Forces and National Liberation Front nominated 297 candidates for the 243 seats. All were under the umbrella of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front. Although there were no candidates allowed from opposition parties, candidates included former activists (anti-war, non-communists), such as Mrs. Ngo Ba Thanh, who had led the Vietnamese Women's Movement for the Right to Live and , who had been a leader of the Saigon Students' Association's resistance movement.
