Parliamentary elections were held in Colombia on 17 March 1968 to elect the Chamber of Representatives,[1] the last occasion on which mid-term elections were held for the Chamber. Under the National Front agreement, only the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party were able to contest the elections, with 50% of the seats in both houses allocated to each party.[2] As a result, the main contest at the elections was between factions within each party.[2]
