The 1964 Puducherry Legislative Assembly election was a significant political event held on 14 April 1964 in the Union Territory of Puducherry, India. This election marked the first legislative assembly election in Puducherry since its establishment as a Union Territory following the decolonization process that saw French India join the Indian Union. The electoral process was crucial for the establishment of a local government and the representation of the people of Puducherry. The Indian National Congress emerged as the dominant party, securing a majority in the assembly, which further consolidated its influence in the region. The election set the stage for subsequent political developments in Puducherry, reflecting the emerging dynamics of regional governance in post-colonial India.
