A constitutional referendum was held in France in 1973 and 1974. While most voting took place in July 1793, the last day of voting was not until 4 April 1794 when residents of Châteaulin voted.[1] The new constitution was approved by over 99% of voters. However, due to the 13 Vendémiaire, the constitution was never enacted.[2]
Results
editDue to the ongoing Reign of Terror no official result was never published.[2] René Baticle collated a best estimate of the figures after reviewing the available minutes from assembly meetings; however, of the 5–6,000 assemblies, over 400 failed to transmit their results or figures.[1]
