A referendum on restoring the monarchy was held in Greece on 3 November 1935.[1] The proposal was approved by nearly 97.9% of voters,[2] although the conduct during the referendum is not considered to have been free or fair. George II returned from exile and was restored to the throne on 25 November 1935.[3]
