1960 Antiguan general election

General elections were held in Antigua and Barbuda on 29 November 1960.[1] They were won by the governing Antigua Labour Party (ALP), whose leader Vere Bird was re-elected as Chief Minister, a position he had held since 1 January 1960 when the position was created.[2]

The 1960 election was the fourth general election held during Antigua and Barbuda's history as a colonial territory of the British Empire. It was the only general election held in the territory during its membership of the West Indies Federation, a brief attempt to create a federal state in the British West Indies. Voter turnout was 38%.
