A constitutional referendum was held in Mali on 18 June 2023. It was initially scheduled for 9 July 2017. However, in late June 2017 it was postponed with no date set,[1] before being revived in mid-April 2021, with a date set of 31 October 2021.[2] Due to the 2021 Malian coup d'état it was indefinitely postponed, with plans for it to be held by 2024.[3] It was later scheduled for 19 March 2023,[4] but then postponed again.[5] On 5 May 2023 the ruling junta announced in a decree that it would be held on 18 June.[6]
The new constitution was approved by 97% of the votes cast, for a turnout of 38% of registered voters, down slightly from the vote on the 1992 text.[7] On 22 July the Constitutional Court certified the results and declared the new constitution to be in force.[8]
