A total of 15,385 votes were cast (although not all constituencies were contested), giving a turnout of 88.5%.〔Nohlen, D, Grotz, F & Hartmann, C (2001) ''Elections in Asia: A data handbook, Volume I'', p54 ISBN 0-19-924958-X〕 However, only 12.5% of the population were registered voters at the time.〔 The constituent assembly was charged with drafting and ratifying a constitution, following Bahrain's independence from Britain in 1971. The law drawn up by the government restricted the electorate to male citizens aged twenty years or over.〔 The assembly consisted of twenty-two delegates who were elected by the public, along with eight delegates appointed by the Amir, and the twelve members of the royally-appointed Council of Ministers in their ex-officio capacity.〔 The constituent assembly and its election were regulated by Legislative Decrees No. 12 and 13 of 1972. The Constituent Assembly drafted and ratified the 1973 Constitution of Bahrain. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bahraini Constituent Assembly election, 1972」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
