General elections were held in Venezuela on 1 December 1968. The presidential election was won by Rafael Caldera of Copei, who received 29.1% of the vote. Acción Democrática (Democratic Action, AD) remained the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies and Senate. Voter turnout was 96.7% in the presidential election and 94.5% in the Congressional elections. When Caldera took office in March 1969, it marked the first time in Venezuela's history as an independent nation that the sitting government peacefully transferred power to an elected member of the opposition.

  • Las elecciones generales de Venezuela de 1968 se celebraron el domingo 1 de diciembre de 1968 para elegir al sucesor del Presidente Raúl Leoni, líder del partido oficialista Acción Democrática, así como la renovación legislativa de las cámaras del Congreso de la República, de las Asambleas Legislativas estadales y de los Concejos municipales. En estos comicios resultó vencedor por escaso margen de votos el doctor Rafael Caldera del partido sociacristiano COPEI, ocasionando de esta manera la primera alternancia democrática del poder entre presidentes de diferentes partidos desde el retorno a la democracia en 1958, así como la primera derrota electoral de AD desde las primeras elecciones universales de la historia venezolana en 1946.
