Presidential elections were due to be held in Cyprus on 18 February 1973.[1] However, as incumbent President Makarios III was the only candidate, the elections were not held and Makarios III was automatically declared the winner.[2]

A separate election for Vice President of Cyprus took place. Rauf Denktaş stood unopposed and was elected.

Electoral system

[edit]

The elections were held using a two-round system; if no candidate received over 50% of the vote in the first round, a second round was to be held between the top two candidates. The constitution required the President of Cyprus to be a Greek Cypriot and the Vice-President to be a Turkish Cypriot. Greek Cypriots elected the President and Turkish Cypriots elected the Vice-President.[3]
