Parliamentary elections were held in Bulgaria on 21 June 1931 to elect members of the XXIII Ordinary National Assembly. The result was a victory for the Popular Bloc, an alliance of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union (Dragiev), the Democratic Party, the National Liberal Party (Petrov) and the Radical Democratic Party. Voter turnout was 85%. In addition to being elected proportionally in each constituency, 45 seats were allocated based on the national vote with a 2% threshold, to offset the disproportionality of the system.
This would be the last officially partisan election held in Bulgaria before World War II (the 1939 elections were officially nonpartisan, but candidates representing parties ran as individuals). By the time of the next elections in which parties were formally allowed to take part, in 1945, the country had been through two dictatorships and a third, Communist one was rapidly consolidating. As a result, the 1931 election was also the last free election held in the country until 1990.
