1793 referendum in France
A constitutional referendum was held in France in 1793 and 1794. While most voting took place in July 1793, the last day of voting was not until 4 April 1794 when residents of Châteaulin voted. The new constitution was approved by over 99% of voters. However, due to the 13 Vendémiaire, the constitution was never enacted.

Due to the ongoing Reign of Terror no official result was never published. René Baticle collated a best estimate of the figures after reviewing the available minutes from assembly meetings; however, of the 5–6,000 assemblies, over 400 failed to transmit their results or figures.
