Swazi general election, 1964

General elections were held in Swaziland in June 1964. The result was a victory for the Imbokodvo National Movement, which won eight of the directly-elected seats and all eight Tinkhundla seats.

Electoral system

The elections were held using two voter rolls; a national roll elected eight Africans in "Open seats" and four Europeans from "Reserved seats" between 23 and 25 June, whilst a European roll elected a further four Europeans on 17 June. A further eight seats were elected by the Tinkhundla ("chiefdoms grouped for age regiment mobilisation").
