A constitutional referendum was held in Zambia on 11 August 2016 alongside general elections, a move designed to reduce the cost of the referendum.[1][2] Voters were asked whether they approve of proposed amendments to the bill of rights and Article 79, which dictates the process of future amendments.[3]
Although 71% of voters voted in favour of the amendments, the number of registered voters in favour was only 24.61%, below the 50% threshold required to validate the result.[4]
