Early parliamentary elections were held in
Albania on 29 June 1997 alongside a simultaneous
referendum on restoring the monarchy, with a second round of voting for 32 seats on 6 July.[1][2] The elections were called as a response to the
1997 Albanian civil unrest. The result was an overwhelming victory for the opposition
Socialist Party of Albania, which won 100 of the 151 seats. Voter turnout was 72.6%.[3]
