1962 Algerian Constituent Assembly election

Constituent Assembly elections were held in Algeria on 20 September 1962, the first parliamentary elections since independence in July. The elections were held alongside a referendum that confirmed the powers and term length of the Assembly.

The Assembly was to have a one-year mandate to draw up and promulgate a constitution. A single list of 196 National Liberation Front candidates was put to voters to approve, 180 of which were Arabs and 16 of which were of European origin.

The constitution was approved in a referendum in September 1963, and the mandate of the Assembly was extended by a year in accordance with article 77. However, President Ahmed Ben Bella froze the Assembly's activities and assumed full powers on 3 October 1963.
