1981 Central African constitutional referendum

A constitutional referendum was held in the Central African Republic on 1 February 1981, following the overthrow of Jean-Bédel Bokassa in 1979. The new constitution would make the country a presidential republic with a unicameral National Assembly, as well as restoring multi-party democracy for the first time since 1962.[1] It was approved by 98.55% of voters with a 92.53% turnout.[2]
