Presidential elections under the Estado Novo regime was held for the last time on 25 July 1972, the only one not controlled by late Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, with the last elections for the National Assembly held the following year, less than a year before the Carnation Revolution. Incumbent President and former Naval Minister Américo Tomás of the ruling People's National Action was the sole candidate, and was re-elected unopposed by the regime-dominated National Assembly for a third seven-year term, which would have ended on 25 July 1979.
