Craftian general election, 1968

A general election was held on Tuesday, 17 September 1968 to determine the members of the 12th Provincial Parliament of the Province of Craftia. The incumbent two-term centre-right National Party of Craftia government, led by Premier Wilbur Joyce, was defeated by the centre-left National Labour Party opposition, led by Bert Aaron. Labour won a resounding majority of seats, and also a majority of the popular vote, a feat achieved for the first time since the 1953 election, and not repeated until the 1998 election. The National Party meanwhile suffered a loss of more than a third of its caucus (18 seats). The right-wing Protection of Craftia Party, led by Owen Gold, gained a single seat.

This was the first election in Craftian history with universal suffrage, following the 1967 referendum and the passage of the Voting Representation Act 1967, which allowed all Indigenous Craftians to vote for the first time since 1890. This was also the last election in which a centre-left party won a majority of seats until the National United Party did in the 2019 election.
