1965 Laotian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Laos on 18 July 1965 to elect members of the National Assembly, the lower chamber of Parliament.[1] The elections were boycotted by the Lao Patriotic Front,[2] and saw the Southern Bloc emerge as the largest party with 15 of the 59 seats.[3] However, only 22,000 citizens were allowed to vote, with the franchise restricted to politicians, civil servants, army officers, police and local government officers.[4]
