Philippine constitutional plebiscite, 1935
This article on elections in the Philippines gives information on elections and election results in the Philippines.
The 1935 Constitution was written in 1934, approved and adopted by the Commonwealth of the Philippines (1935-1946) and later used by the Third Republic of the Philippines (1946-1972). It was written with an eye to meeting the approval of the United States Government as well, so as to ensure that the U.S. would live up to its promise to grant the Philippines independence and not have a premise to hold onto its "possession" on the grounds that it was too politically immature and hence unready for full, real independence. A plebiscite was held on May 14, 1935 to be approved or disapproved by the Filipino people.
