2010 Icelandic Constitutional Assembly election

Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Iceland on 27 November 2010. The Supreme Court invalidated the results of the election on 25 January 2011 following complaints about several faults in how the election was conducted.[1][2] However, it was decided on 25 February 2011 that the elected assembly members would instead be appointed to a Constitutional Council with effectively the same role.[3] The proposed changes to the constitution were approved in a referendum in October 2012.

As of 2024, the changes had not been implemented, despite continued public support.[4]
