The Kalistan General Election 3880 was an election held in the Free and United Country of Kalistan during September 3880, with all 750 seats in the People's Imperial Council up for election.
An early election was called due to the unstable state of the previous parliament due to the rise of independents and the one seat majority of the Centre/Choice coalition. The election marked a victory for the coalition, with Choice especially making large gains. Despite the RFP making gains in terms of seats, this was seen as a failure for them due to the other parties making much larger gains. One of major reasons for the large gains made by all parties was many independents had defected to other parties, in particular Choice, or had lost their seats at the election due to the large swings to the main parties.
