- General elections were held in Costa Rica on 1 February 1970. Former President José Figueres Ferrer of the National Liberation Party won the presidential election, whilst his party also won the parliamentary election. Voter turnout was 83.3%. On 25 June 1969, the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica reformed the Constitution to prohibit presidential reelection, but as any legal reform was retroactive, all previous presidents could be candidates one more time. Two former presidents José Figueres Ferrer and Mario Echandi Jiménez were the two main candidates in the election. Echandi was nominated by then ruling party National Unification (PUN), a right-wing conservative party made out of the merger of the Republicans (Calderonistas) and the National Union (Ulatistas). However, the union was starting to break and Ulate unsuccessfully presented a separate list of Unification candidates for Congress. In the main opposition force and by then dominant-party PLN, the nominee had been the historical leader and twice president before José Figueres. Figueres was selected after a primary election (or National Convention as they're known in Costa Rica) in which he defeated then Congressman and former Secretary General of the party, Rodrigo Carazo. The convention was particularly harsh and after the results, Figueres did not include any of Carazo supporters in power positions (as was a traditional courtesy), something that future president Carazo resented and which caused him to eventually leave the party. National Unification's forces, however, weren't in better conditions. Ulate did not endorse Echandi and left the coalition. Others that left were Virgilio Calvo and Mariano Zúñiga from the Calderonist faction that made their own new party, the National Front (aka “Third Front”). Ulate promised them the support of this party, but PUN's General Assembly did not follow his lead and endorsed Echandi's candidacy. The group had minimal impact in the election. Other minor parties were the Christian Democratic Party, led by physician Jorge Arturo Monge Zamora, and the Socialist Action Party led by former PLN member Marcial Aguiluz Orellana and historical Communist leader Manuel Mora. Communism was still illegal at the time, but the prohibition was flexible on non-explicitly Marxist parties, and several leaders were already questioning the antidemocratic nature of the measure and calling for it to be lifted, including Figueres himself. Figueres won by a very broad margin over Echandi, 54% over 41%, and his party, the PLN, won a majority in Parliament. Socialists and Christian Democrats also achieved representation. (en)
- Las elecciones presidenciales de Costa Rica de 1970 se llevaron a cabo el domingo 1 de febrero de 1970, siendo los candidatos principales el expresidente José Figueres Ferrer, del socialdemócrata Partido Liberación Nacional y el también expresidente Mario Echandi Jiménez de la coalición oficialista de derecha Unificación Nacional, obteniendo la victoria Figueres con el 54% de los votos. Otros candidatos fueron Virgilio Calvo Sánchez del Frente Nacional, Lisímaco Leiva Cubillo del Partido Acción Socialista y Jorge Arturo Monge Zamora del Partido Demócrata Cristiano todos los cuales llegaron a acumular alrededor del 1% de los votos cada uno. Para estas elecciones ya comenzaba a consolidarse el sistema bipartidista costarricense. El 25 de junio de 1969 la Asamblea Legislativa aprueba una reforma constitucional prohibiendo la reelección presidencial, la cual, debido a la no retroactividad de las leyes, excluía a los expresidentes aún vivos en el momento de la reforma, casualmente los dos candidatos principales en esta elección eran ambos expresidentes.
