1968 Lebanese general election in Chouf District information
Voting to elect eight members of the Lebanese parliament took place in Chouf District on April 7, 1968, as part of the national general election of that year.[1][2] Three of the seats of the constituency were earmarked for the Maronite community, two for the Sunni Muslim, two for the Druze whilst the last seat was allocated to the Greek Catholics (for more information about the Lebanese election system, see Elections in Lebanon).[1][3] The Chouf District constituency had 78,557 eligible voters, out of whom 46,056 voted (the highest number of all constituencies in the country).[4] All in all Chouf District was one of the most hotly contested constituencies in the election, being the home turf of Camille Chamoun and Kamal Jumblatt. The situation in the constituency was tense (the Jumblatt camp had warned of an armed uprising if Chamoun would have been declared the winner), but the polls went through without violent incidents.[1] However, Jumblatt did accuse 'a large embassy in Beirut' (probably an allusion to the U.S. embassy) of buying votes for Chamoun.[3]
