1964 Tunisian general election

General elections were held in Tunisia in 8 November 1964 to elect a President and Chamber of Deputies. A year earlier, the country had been formally declared a one-party state with the Socialist Destourian Party (PSD, formerly the Neo Destour) as the sole legal party.[1] However, the country had effectively been a one-party state since independence in 1956.
