1 jul 2011 año - 2011 Moroccan constitutional referendum

Descripción:

A referendum on constitutional reforms was held in Morocco on 1 July 2011. It was called in response to a series of protests across Morocco that began on 20 February 2011 when over ten thousand Moroccans participated in demonstrations demanding democratic reforms. A commission was to draft proposals by June 2011. A draft released on 17 June foresaw the following changes:

requiring the King to name a Prime Minister from the largest party in Parliament;
handing a number of rights from the monarch to the PM, including dissolution of parliament;
allowing parliament to grant amnesty, previously a privilege of the monarch;
making Berber an official language alongside Arabic
The changes were reportedly approved by 98.49% of voters. Despite protest movements calling for a boycott of the referendum, government officials claimed turnout was 72.65%.

Following the referendum, early parliamentary elections were held on 25 November 2011.
