General elections were held in Senegal on 25 February 1968 to elect a President and National Assembly. After a series of party mergers, the country had become a one-party state, with the Senegalese Progressive Union (UPS) as the sole legal party, As a result, its leader, Léopold Sédar Senghor, was the only candidate in the presidential election and was re-elected unopposed.[1] In the National Assembly election, voters were presented with a list of 80 UPS candidates to vote for.[2] Voter turnout was 95% in the presidential election and 93% in the National Assembly election.[1]
