A constitutional referendum was held in
Morocco on 24 July 1970.[1] The new constitution replaced that approved by
referendum in 1962, but suspended by King
Hassan II in 1965 (when
Parliament was also dissolved) following riots in
Casablanca. It was approved by 98.8% of voters, with a 93.2% turnout.[2] Following its approval,
fresh elections were held on 21 August.[3]
