Overview

The 1962 Supreme Soviet election returned the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) to every one of the 526 contested seats, preserving its absolute majority (264‑seat threshold) and leaving the chamber unchanged from the previous cycle.

The Chamber

The chamber composition is a single‑party monopoly: CPSU – 526 seats, net change 0. No opposition parties won representation, and the party’s seat total exactly matches the “seats contested” figure in the infobox, confirming a 100 % sweep. Because the party exceeds the 264‑seat majority requirement, the government remains a unilateral CPSU administration with no coalition partners or parliamentary opposition.

What Moved

The seat‑change bar shows a flat line for the CPSU (net 0), and the “swings” array is empty, indicating that no constituency experienced a measurable shift in party support between this and the prior election. Every regional delegation listed under units records a “no change” delta, confirming that the distribution of seats across the fourteen constituencies is identical to the previous cycle.

Seats to Watch

Although the CPSU won every constituency, the “closest” list highlights the districts with the smallest victory margins, measured as a percentage of the total seats in each unit:

These six constituencies have the lowest proportional margins, ranging from 9 % in Molotov (MOL) to 30 % in both the Central Black Earth (CBE) and Kazakhstan (KAZ) units. While still decisive victories, they represent the most competitive pockets in an otherwise uniform result and would be the logical focus for any future intra‑party analysis of regional support variation.
