A four-part constitutional referendum was held in Ukraine on 16 April 2000.[1] The referendum was called by President Leonid Kuchma,[2] and asked voters whether they approved of four amendments to the constitution that would increase the powers of the President and introduce an upper chamber.[2]
Although all four were approved by wide margins,[3] the changes were never implemented by the Verkhovna Rada on the basis that the referendum was unconstitutional, as it had not passed the proposals before they went to a referendum.[2] The Venice Commission that reviewed the case confirmed the questionable nature of the referendum that should be reviewed by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine.
