Referendum for Prohibition of the immediate re-election of Members of Congress
On December 9 of 2018, Peru underwent a series of referendums regarding the constitutional reforms proposed by the President Vizcarra. Citizens had the opportunity to directly vote to approve or reject four constitutional reforms. The referendums were organized by the National Jury of Elections. The Bill N° 3187-2018-PE was designed to change article 90 of the Constitution regarding the legislative branch, by including the prohibition of the immediate reelection of members of the Congress. The proposal was approved with over 85% of the votes casted in favor. On January 10th of 2019, the article 90 of the Constitution was reformed, officializing the decision made in the referendum.
