Antiguan general election, 1965
General elections were held in Antigua and Barbuda on 29 November 1965, and continued on 15 December after three candidates withdrew before the original date.[1] They were won by the governing Antigua Labour Party. ALP leader Vere Bird was re-elected as Chief Minister of Antigua. Bird had served as the first Chief Minister of Antigua since 1 January 1960.
The 1965 election was the fifth general election held during Antigua and Barbuda's history as a colonial territory of the British Empire. Six ALP candidates were uncontested; as such, the party had won the 1965 election before a single vote was cast. Voter turnout was 42.8%.
