FREER ELECTIONS
INDIVIDUAL CANDIDACY IN YUGOSLAVIA NZPA—Copyright
Rec 7 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 23. The Yugoslav National Assembly has passed a new electoral law enabling freer elections, says the Belgrade correspondent of the Times. Under it, individual candidacy will replace the fixed lists in elections for the Federal Council. Anyone can become a candidate provided he gets 100 voters to nominate him, and he will be returned it he obtains an absolute majority over other candidates in his constituency. At the last elections, in 1945, voting was on a fixed list of candidates for the whole country drawn up by the Peoples' Front.
