A constitutional referendum was held in Egypt between 20 and 22 April 2019,[1][2] The main proposed amendments were re-establishing the presidential term to six years, from four previously, and removing the limit of two terms on the president, thereby allowing President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to potentially remain in power until 2030.[3] The changes were approved by 88.83% of voters who voted, with a 44% turnout.[4]
