Presidential elections were held in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on 1 November 1970. The only candidate was Joseph Mobutu, who had taken power in a military coup five years earlier. The elections took the format of a "yes" or "no" vote for Mobutu's candidacy. According to official figures, Mobutu was confirmed in office with near-unanimous support, with only 157 "no" votes out of over 10.1 million total votes cast. Mobutu also received around 30,000 more "yes" votes than the number of registered voters, even though voting was not compulsory.

- Las elecciones presidenciales se llevaron a cabo en la República Democrática del Congo el 1 de noviembre de 1970 durante el régimen de Mobutu Sese Seko. En realidad consistieron en un referéndum para aceptar o rechazar la presidencia de Mobutu, en el poder desde el golpe de Estado de 1965. Los resultados revelaron que la candidatura de Mobutu no solo fue aprobada con un inverosímil 100% de los votos, sino que aparentemente participó más gente de la que estaba registrada para votar, a pesar de que constitucionalmente el voto no era obligatorio.
