The Transitional Government informs national opinion that the date of the referendum, scheduled for March 19, 2023, in the timeline of political, institutional and electoral reforms of the Transition, will be slightly postponed.
This postponement is justified by the firm will of the authorities of the Transition to apply the recommendations of the National Assembly for Refoundation (ANR), in particular the full operationalization of the Independent Authority for the Management of Elections (AIGE), through the installation of its branches in the 19 administrative regions of Mali and the District of Bamako, as soon as possible, as well as the popularization of the draft Constitution.
The new date of the referendum will be fixed, after consultation with the Independent Authority for the Management of Elections and all the players in the electoral process.
The Government reassures national and international opinion that the return to constitutional order, after having carried out the necessary reforms, remains one of its top priorities, while respecting the duration of the Transition.
