A constitutional referendum was held in the Comoros on 30 July 2018. The constitutional amendments proposed would, among other changes, remove the presidential term limits and requirement for the presidency to rotate between the three main islands. Following the approval of the amendments by 92% of voters, President Azali Assoumani will be allowed to run for another five-year term in a vote moved forward to 2019 instead of 2021.[1]
