People today in Bangladesh are voting not only for the next leader and the formation of the new government, but also for the country’s political future. After the student protests in 2024, the caretaker government drafted a referendum on the July National Charter 2025, which outlines constitutional amendments, legal challenges and new laws. At the ballot, voters will be able to decide on four major reforms, including the creation of new constitutional bodies. Other questions address the implementation of 30 charter reforms, including term limits for prime ministers and increased presidential powers.
