General elections were held in Gibraltar on 30 July 1969 . The Association for the Advancement of Civil Rights remained the largest party in the House of Assembly, winning seven of the 15 seats.[1] However, the opposition Integration with Britain Party and Isola Group held eight seats between them and were able to form a government, marking the first time since 1950 that the AACR had been out of power.[2]
Electoral system[]
Until 1969 the legislature had been elected by proportional representation.[3] However, in 1969 the voting system was changed to allow each voter to vote for up to eight candidates.[4]
