Liberia’s general election of 7 May 1963 returned President William V. S. Tubman without a contesting presidential candidate.
Presidential election
William V. S. Tubman of the True Whig Party was reelected unopposed. Comparative election references publish a total of 565,044 votes for the presidential ticket.
Data caution
The published figure is retained as a historical tabulation. A complete digitized national canvass showing registration, invalid ballots, and local returns has not yet been located, so no independent turnout calculation is made.
Vice presidency
William R. Tolbert Jr. continued as vice president.
Political setting
The absence of a presidential challenger reflected the True Whig Party’s institutional dominance following the defeated and repressed opposition campaign of 1955 and the highly unequal contest of 1959.
Legislative election
Legislative offices were elected in the same political system, but complete constituency-level results have not yet been verified for publication.
Historical significance
The election continued Tubman’s long presidency and began a sequence of uncontested presidential races that lasted through the remainder of the First Republic.
Evidence status
Verified across established references: date, unopposed candidacy, party, and winner. Awaiting primary documentation: certified totals, turnout, and full legislative returns.
