General elections were held in Singapore on 13 April 1968, the first as a sovereign country after its independence three years prior.

[1] The People's Action Party (PAP) won in a landslide, winning all 58 seats at the time, including 51 uncontested constituencies.

Following the resignations of eleven MPs from Barisan Sosialis (BS, Socialist Front) and two other BS MPs leaving Singapore in protest against independence, five by-elections were held within three years but PAP were successful in winning all the seats, resulting in complete supermajority control of Parliament by the PAP.

BS boycotted the elections on the grounds that Singapore's independence was "phoney" and several opposition parties heeded its call.

The result for Tanjong Pagar (94% to 6%) remains the biggest winning margin and percentage obtained to date.
