Binding National Referendum 2006 (Departmental Autonomy)
The Binding National Referendum 2006 of the Constituent Assembly for Departmental Autonomies was a popular consultation implemented with the aim to decide whether and how departments would become autonomous. The question stated: "Do you agree, within the framework of national unity, to give the Constituent Assembly the binding mandate to establish a system of departmental autonomy, applicable immediately after the promulgation of the new Political Constitution of the State, in the departments where this Referendum has a majority, so that its authorities are directly elected by citizens, and receive from the National State executive powers, administrative, regulatory powers and the economic resources assigned to them by the new State Constitution and laws??
