The 1961 South African presidential election was the first to be held in South Africa. It occurred as a result of the referendum of November 5, 1960, which ratified the transformation of the Union of South Africa into the Republic of South Africa (1961–1984), and the adoption of a newconstitution organizing the new state's political institutions.
