All three parts of the proposed Fourth Amendment to the Austenasian Constitution of 2011 have received the requisite support in yesterday’s referendum, and as such will enter into force tomorrow.
Out of 84 eligible voters, there was a total turnout of 57; just one more than the two-thirds turnout of 56 required for the results to be binding.
The Fourth Amendment is composed of three separate proposals, which could be voted on individually in the referendum.
The first and third proposals both received 52 votes (91.2%) in support.
The second proposal – replacing the requirement that the Monarch be a practicing Christian with a requirement that they “respect and uphold” the Christian faith – saw more opposition, but still a majority in favour, with 39 votes (68.4%) in support.
