General elections were held in Monaco on 4 February 1973, with a second round of voting on 11 February.[1] The result was a victory for the National and Democratic Union, which won 16 of the 18 seats in the National Council.
Voters can either choose a party list or choose candidates from various lists ("panachage") for the 18 seats. To be elected a candidate must receive a majority of valid votes. If the 18 seats are not filled in the first round, the remaining seats are elected in a second round by a simple majority.
