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.
Electoral system
Voters can either choose a party list or choose candidates from various lists ("panachage") for the 18 seats. To be elected a candidate must receive a majority of valid votes. If the 18 seats are not filled in the first round, the remaining seats are elected in a second round by a simple majority.
Results
Sixteen seats were won in the first round, with two decided in the second.
