The constitutional referendum in Guinea-Bissau took place this Sunday peacefully, according to reports from local media outlets. The voting process began normally, with no significant incidents reported during the initial voting period.
However, there was reduced voter participation in various areas of the country. Local media reported low turnout at polling stations across multiple regions of Guinea-Bissau during the beginning of the vote count.
The referendum aims to approve changes to the country's constitution, at a time of particular political importance for the West African nation. The low participation contrasts with the importance attributed to this popular consultation by the authorities.
