A constitutional referendum will be held in Peru on 9 December 2018 alongside the second round of gubernatorial elections.[1]

Constitutional reforms

The first reform approved by Congress on 18 September 2018 would see the National Council of the Magistrature renamed the National Board of Justice. The way its members are appointed would also be changed, with new members chosen by a special commission headed by the Attorney General, the Comptroller General, the president of the constitutional tribunal, the president of the judicial branch and the Public Defender through a public contest.[2]

The second reform was approved by Congress on 26 September was an amendment to article 35 of the constitution regulating political party finances, introducing audits and penalties for illegal donations.[2]

Two further proposals were approved in early October. The first introduces a term limit of one consecutive term for members of Congress, and the second makes Congress a bicameral legislature with 130 deputies and 20 senators.[3]
