A referendum on the law of succession was held in Spain on 6 July 1947.[1] The Law of Succession (Ley de Sucesión en la Jefatura del Estado) was intended to provide for the restoration of the Monarchy of Spain. The law appointed Francisco Franco as head of state for life until Franco's death or resignation, but also granted him the power to appoint his successor as King or Regent of the Kingdom and thereby formally establish a new Kingdom of Spain. It was reportedly approved by 95.1% of voters.[1]
