A constitutional referendum, the nation's first, was held in Belize on 7 February 2008, coinciding with the 2008 general elections.
The question asked was: "Should the Senate of Belize be elected?"
While approved by 61% of voters with a 46% turnout, the referendum was only consultative, and the government chose not to implement the result, considering the low turnout.
