Guinea-Bissau voters are voting in a referendum that could change the country's constitution and give more powers to the president. The country is currently governed by the military, after a coup overthrew the civilian government.

The referendum takes place before the general elections that are supposed to restore civilian rule in the country. The process is shrouded in controversy, according to available information.

Voting takes place this Sunday and aims to approve constitutional amendments that strengthen the president's position in the Guinean political system.
