Why did the Allies agree that elections would be held in Soviet-occupied territories in Eastern Europe after the war?

The United States and Britain were concerned that the Soviet Union might dominate the countries its army had occupied in Eastern Europe. They agreed to call for free elections in those territories in an effort to protect their people’s right to choose their governments. Stalin did not insist on fair elections, and German surrender was not conditional on Eastern European freedom.
