The 1979 Bolivian general election was held on Sunday, 1 July 1979. Voters went to the polls to elect the president and vice president and all seats in the bicameral 144-member National Congress, for a four-year term. No candidate having won a majority in the first round, the election went to parliament, which selected between the top three most-voted contenders. After multiple failed ballots, an agreement was reached to elect Wálter Guevara as acting president pending new elections.
