Romanian State Council president election, 1961

An equivalent of presidential election was held in the Romanian People's Republic on between 21 March 1961.

The name of the Presidium of the Great National Assembly (Romania's Communist parliament) is changed into State Council of Romania and Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej features the president of the new institution, thus becaming the first president of the State Council, de facto head of state. This change was enforced as the Law #1/1961 and voted by the Great National Assembly.[1][2][3][4]
