A referendum concerning the establishment of the French Empire was held in France in June 1804.[1] The result showed a virtually unanimous French electorate approving the change in Napoleon Bonaparte's status from First Consul to Emperor of the French, although the votes were most likely manipulated.[2][3][4]
Background
The plebiscite, provided for by article 142 of the Sénatus-consulte, relates to the question of the imperial succession as defined in the Constitution of 1804, which established the First Empire. The vote was public, permitting neither blank votes nor invalid ones.
Results
The counting of the votes ended in 2 August and the results were announced in 6 November.[1] A coronation ceremony was held a month later, on 2 December.
