Legislative elections were held in New Caledonia on 9 July 1967.[1] The result was a victory for the Caledonian Union, which won 22 of the 35 seats.
A total of 174 candidates contested the 35 seats.[1] The New Caledonian branch of the Union for the New Republic (led by Georges Chatenay) called for more autonomy and for a second smelting company to be introduced to the territory to create competition for Société Le Nickel.[1]
The three minor party Assembly members were sympathetic to the Caledonian Union.[2]
