Mauritian general election, 1967

General elections were held in Mauritius on 7 August 1967. The result was a victory for the Independence Party, a coalition led by the Labour Party, which won a total of 43 seats, allowing Labour leader and incumbent Prime Minister Seewoosagur Ramgoolam to form a government.

The voting system created twenty constituencies on Mauritius, which each elected three members. Two seats were elected by residents of Rodrigues, and eight seats were filled by a system known as "best losers" whereby the electoral commission would appoint eight unsuccessful candidates to ensure that ethnic minorities were fairly represented. Voter turnout was 88.9%.

^a The Independence Party bloc consisted of the Labour Party (26 seats), the Independent Forward Bloc (12 seats) and the Muslim Committee of Action (5 seats).
