General elections were held in Tunisia in 8 November 1964 to elect a President and Chamber of Deputies. A year earlier, the country had been formally declared a one-party state with the Socialist Destourian Party (PSD, formerly the Neo Destour) as the sole legal party.[https://books.google.com/books?id=3QYLUNEWkYcC&dq=tunisia+election+1964+%22Habib+Bourguiba%22&pg=PA37 Tunisia] p37 However, the country had effectively been a one-party state since independence in 1956.

In the presidential election, incumbent Habib Bourguiba was re-elected unopposed; as the chairman of the PSD, he was the only candidate for president. In the Chamber election, voters were presented with a single list from the PSD, which won all 101 seats.[http://www.inadev.org/profile_-_tunisia.htm Profile - Tunisia] INADEV Voter turnout was 96.8%.Dieter Nohlen, Michael Krennerich & Bernhard Thibaut (1999) Elections in Africa: A data handbook, p918 {{ISBN|0-19-829645-2}}
