A constitutional referendum was held in the Central African Republic on 13 and 14 December 2015.[1] The referendum was originally scheduled to be held on 5 October 2015, prior to general elections,[2] but was later delayed. Violence on polling day led to voting being extended for another day.[1] The new constitution was approved by 93% of voters.[3] General elections followed on 30 December.

The new constitution was approved by a large majority in the Transitional Council on 30 August 2015.[2] It provides for the creation of a Senate and a National Election Authority, as well as requiring decisions made by the President and Prime Minister to be approved by ministers, and for the government to inform the National Assembly when a contract relating to mineral resources is signed.[2] Only 15,000 copies of the new constitution were published.
