A referendum on a new constitution was held in Morocco on 7 December 1962. It was the first national-level vote in the country, and only the second election ever following local elections in 1960. Despite only being announced on 18 November, and facing a boycott campaign from the National Union of Popular Forces (UNFP), voter turnout was 84%, with 97% voting in favour of the new constitution. The first parliamentary elections took place the following year.

Aftermath

In the aftermath of the 1965 Moroccan riots, King Hassan II suspended the constitution and dismissed the parliament, declaring a state of emergency that would last until 1970.
