*In the final results announced by the National Election Commission
(NEC) on 31 August, the percentage of invalid/blank votes cast were included with the "Yes" and "No" votes to determine the
final outcome for each proposition. Following a challenge of the results, the Supreme Court ruled on 20 September that the
number of invalid/blank votes cast should have been excluded from the final results released by the NEC. The figures in the
table above reflect the final results after the Supreme Court's ruling.
**Though all four proposed amendments were voted on in the same
referendum, the constitution requires that each proposition be approved individually by a two-thirds majority of the electorate
to be ratified. Proposition four met the requirements for ratification, while the other proposed amendments were rejected.
