The general relativistic electrodynamics of an isolated, rotating, magnetic neutron star has been studied. Consideration is given to the region of a neutron star magnetosphere with steady, space charge limited flow along open magnetic field lines. A model using the explicit solutions to the Maxwell equations is used to demonstrate the general relativity effects on the electric field of this region. The incorporation of the dragging effect of inertial frames of reference made it possible to demonstrate the possibility of generation of an electric field component, which is relativistic in origin and is proportional to cos chi, where chi is the inclination angle of a pulsar. For an oblique rotator, the characteristic magnitude of the electric field is approximately 400 (rg/a)P exp 1/2 times stronger than that in a flat space-time limit.
