Algeria Referendum Enacted 2020-11-01

Algerian Constitutional Reform of 2020

تعديل الدستور الجزائري 2020

Summary

New Algerian constitution adopted by referendum on 2020-11-01 with 66% approval but only 24% turnout — the lowest turnout in any Algerian referendum. Introduced limited reforms (term limits, anti-corruption provisions) without addressing core demands of the Hirak protest movement.

Impact

Marked the formal closure of the Hirak-era window for constitutional change. Tebboune's 2024 re-election with 84% completed the post-Hirak political restoration.

Parties involved

National Liberation Front
