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]
