- Source: 1967 East German general election
General elections were held in East Germany on 2 July 1967. 434 deputies were elected to the Volkskammer, with all of them being candidates of the single-list National Front, dominated by the communist Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). 583 Front candidates were put forward, with 434 being elected. The allocation of seats remained unchanged from the 1963 election.
These were the last elections held under the original constitution adopted in 1949. Two months before election day, SED leader Walter Ulbricht had called for a new constitution that reflected the larger goal of building a socialist society. In December 1967 a commission of the newly elected Volkskammer was tasked with recasting the constitution in accordance with the SED's stipulations. A year after the elections, a referendum approved a new constitution promulgated later that year. While the 1949 constitution was a superficially liberal democratic document, the 1968 constitution was a communist document. It defined East Germany as a socialist state under the leadership of the SED, codifying the actual state of affairs that had prevailed in the country since 1949.
