Parliamentary elections were held in Cape Verde on 7 December 1980.[1] The country was a one-party state at the time, with the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) as the sole legal party.[2] Its leader was Aristides Pereira. The PAIGC presented a list of 63 candidates and three substitutes to voters to approve.
