1965 Libyan general election

Early general elections were held in Libya to elect the House of Representatives on 8 May 1965,^[1] following the dissolution of parliament by King Idris after the 1964 elections.^[2] As political parties were banned, all candidates ran as independents. In order to ensure the victory of pro-government candidates, ballot boxes were tampered with by police.^[2]
