A constitutional referendum was held in Syria on 1 December 1961.[1] Voters had the choice of submitting a green ballot marked "I am in favour of the temporary constitution" or a red one marked "I am against the temporary constitution". However, the ballot was not secret, and votes were made in the presence of an official.[2] The temporary constitution was approved by 97.1% of voters.
