1964 Australian Senate election


Elections were held on 5 December 1964 to elect members to half of the 60 seats in the Australian Senate for a term commencing on 1 July 1965. There was no accompanying election to the House of Representatives, as Robert Menzies had called an early House-only election the previous year. As with the previous Senate election, the Coalition held exactly half of the seats in the chamber; the Democratic Labor Party and independent senator Reg Turnbull held the balance of power.
