General elections were held in Swaziland in October 1983. The elections was held using the T inkhundla system, in which voters elected members to an electoral college, who then selected 40 non-party candidates for the Parliament, whilst the King appointed a further ten. [1] Although there was no voter registration, the government claimed voter turnout was around 80%, although there were suggestions that people were pressured to vote. [2]
