- In Cuba, voters took part in a referendum on a new constitution that expands recognition of private property.
- The referendum contained only two options: yes or no to the new constitution.
- More than eight million were registered to voters.
- This new constitution, replacing the 1976 version, recognises a limited role for the free market and private investment, but only under the control of the Communist Party.
- It enshrines socialism as the country's only ideology.
- Cuba's banned opposition party, which normally calls for abstention at elections or spoiling ballot sheets, this time campaigned for a no vote.
