A referendum on the law of succession was held in Spain in 1947.[1] The Law of Succession (Ley de Sucesión en la Jefatura del Estado) stipulated for the revival of the Monarchy of Spain since this year. The law appointed Francisco Franco as Head of state for life until the Franco's death or resignation, and allowing him to appoint his successor as a King or Regent of the Kingdom, and formally established the new "Kingdom of Spain" in some formal contexts. It was reportedly approved by 95.1% of voters.[1]
