1963 Monegasque general election
General elections were held in Monaco on 25 February and 3 March 1963.[1] The elections were the first since the promulgation of a new constitution implemented after Prince Rainier III relinquished his absolute rule over the principality, and the first in which women were permitted to vote.[2] The result was a victory for the National and Democratic Union, which won 17 of the 18 seats in the National Council.
