A constitutional referendum was held in Morocco on 1 March 1972.

[1] The new constitution replaced that approved by referendum in 1970, and was drawn up after an attempted coup in July 1971 forced King Hassan II to accept the need for a broader government (the previous constitution had limited directly elected seats to only 90 of the 240 in Parliament).

[2] The constitution was approved by 98.8% of voters with a 93% turnout,[3] and was promulgated on 10 March.

[1] Elections were scheduled for May.

However, they were then indefinitely postponed, and did not take place until 1977.
