General elections were held in Antigua and Barbuda on 29 November 1965, and continued on 15 December after three candidates withdrew before the original date.[1] They were won by the governing Antigua Labour Party (ALP), whose leader Vere Bird was re-elected as Chief Minister.[2]
Six ALP candidates ran unopposed, meaning the party had won the elections before a vote was cast.[2] Voter turnout was 42.8%.
