1972 Cambodian general election
General elections were held in the Khmer Republic in September 1972,[1] the first after the 1970 coup. Elections for the National Assembly took place on 3 September and were contested by the Social Republican Party and Pracheachon (although the latter only had 10 candidates), whilst they were boycotted by the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in protest at the new electoral law. The SRP won all 126 seats with 99.1% of valid votes.[2] Elections for the Senate were held on 17 September, with the SRP winning all 32 seats.

gollark: The computer science department at my school was established something like 3 years ago.
gollark: I figure that if I had a vast computing cluster to bend to my will, I could work out how to use it later.
gollark: There are raspberry pis sitting around in boxes idling when they *could* form a vast computing cluster to... I don't know, build random AUR packages?
gollark: I may be able to use this robotics thing as an excuse to harvest part of the school's endless ability to buy significant quantities of hardware nobody will ever actually use much.
gollark: (I don't really do much electronics, despite vaguely wanting to)
