There were 38 constituencies (18 on [[Grande Comore]], 15 on [[Anjouan]] and 5 on [[Mohéli]]), each of which elected a single member.<ref name=IPU/> In February the [[Comorian Union for Progress]] had been created as the sole legal party, and its candidates won 37 of the 38 seats.

Eighteen seats were won outright on election day, whilst a second round was held in the remaining 20 constituencies where no candidate won more than 50% of the vote on 14 March.<ref name=IPU>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/COMOROS_1982_E.PDF Comoros] [[Inter-Parliamentary Union]]</ref>
