General elections were held in Tunisia on 3 November 1974 to elect a President and Chamber of Deputies. At the time the country was a one-party state with the Socialist Destourian Party (PSD) as the sole legal party. Its leader, Habib Bourguiba, was the only candidate in the presidential election; as the chairman of the PSD, he was the only candidate for president. In the Chamber election, the PSD put forward a single list of candidates in each constituency. Voter turnout was 96.8% in the Chamber election.[1]
In March 1975 the Chamber of Deputies voted Bourguiba President-for-life.[2] As a result, there were no presidential elections until 1989.
