Five special elections (known as "by-elections" elsewhere) to the House of Representatives of the Philippines, the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines, were held on November 14, 1967, along with the 1967 Philippine Senate election and the 1967 Philippine constitutional plebiscite. These were for vacancies in the 6th Congress of the Philippines; the winners were to serve the rest of the term, which had ended on December 30, 1969. Political parties were allowed to field multiple candidates per district; the Nacionalista Party won in all districts, mirroring their victory in the Senate election where they won six of the eight seats up.
These were the last special elections until the proclamation of martial law by president Ferdinand Marcos in 1972. The next such special elections are to be in 1993, or seven years after Marcos was overthrown after the People Power Revolution.
