Bolivian constitutional referendum, 2016 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A constitutional referendum will be held in Bolivia on 21 February 2016.[1] The proposed constitutional amendments will remove presidential term limits, allowing President Evo Morales and Vice President Álvaro García Linera to run for another term in office in 2019.[2][3]

Background[edit]

Article 168 of the constitution allows these officeholders to put themselves forward for re-election only once. The proposed constitutional reform was passed by a combined session of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly on 26 September 2015, by a vote of 112 to 41.[4][2] Law 757, which convenes the February referendum, was passed 113 to 43, and was promulgated on 5 November 2015.[3]
