The first elections to the '''[[Nagaland Legislative Assembly]]''' were held in January 1964 to elect members of the 40 constituencies in [[Nagaland]], India. There were no political parties registered and so all the candidates fought as [[Independent (politician)|Independents]]. [[P. Shilu Ao]] was appointed as the first [[Chief Minister of Nagaland]].

Nagaland was converted to a state by the State of Nagaland Act, 1962<ref>{{cite web |url=https://legislative.gov.in/sites/default/files/A1962-27.pdf |title=State of Nagaland Act, 1962 |date=4 September 1962 |access-date=22 July 2021}}</ref> and elections were called for in 1964.
