1989 Algerian constitutional referendum
A constitutional referendum was held in Algeria on 23 February 1989.[1] Coming after the 1988 October Riots, the new constitution removed references to socialism and allowed for multi-party democracy. Despite calls for a boycott by radical Islamists and opposition from trade unions and FLN members, the amendments were approved by 73.4% of voters with a 79% turnout.[2] Local elections were scheduled for the following year, with parliamentary elections to be held in 1991.
