The 'Northwest Territories General Election of 1967' took place on July 4 1967. This was the tenth general election in the history of the Northwest Territories.
Tragedy would ensue after this election as member elect Bill Berg died in a plane crash while flying into Yellowknife on October 1, only a few days before the new council was to open.
This would be the first time since 1905 where more elected members would sit then appointed members.
This is also the first election in the history of the territories, that electoral districts covered the entire territories. The redistribution of districts was a result of the Carruthers Commission.
