Gilbert and Ellice Islands general election, 1967

General elections were held in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands in 1967. All candidates ran as independents.^[1]

Background

Earlier in the year the British government promulgated a new constitution for the islands, creating a House of Representatives to replace the Advisory Council. The new House of Representatives had 30 members, of which 23 were elected (18 from the Gilberts and five from Ellice Islands), five civil servants and two ex officio members.^[2]

In addition, the Executive Council was replaced with a Governing Council, to consist of five members of the House of Representatives (elected by the House) and two ex officio members.^[2]
