1993 Cuban parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Cuba on 24 February 1993 alongside elections to the fourteen Provincial Assemblies.[1] Following the implementation of a new electoral law in 1992, voters now elected the National Assembly directly (previously voters had elected members of the country's 169 Municipal Assemblies, who in turn had elected the National Assembly).
