General elections were held in Bermuda on 22 May 1968.^[1] The elections were the first held under equal universal suffrage, as the additional vote for property owners used in the 1963 elections was scrapped, and the voting age lowered from 25 to 21. The result was a victory for the United Bermuda Party, which won 30 of the 40 seats in the House of Assembly.^[1] On 10 June Henry Tucker became the territory's first Premier.
