The military transitional authorities in Guinea-Bissau, who seized power in a November 2025 coup, have scheduled the constitutional referendum for 30 August 2026 to shift the system from parliamentary to presidential, granting the president authority to appoint and dismiss the prime minister, cabinet, and ministries while enabling parliament dissolution in crises and reducing seats from 102 to 65. The National Transitional Council approved the text unanimously in January, with the vote framed as stabilizing institutions ahead of December elections. Opposition parties face suspended political activities and limited campaign access, while critics highlight exclusion from drafting and potential power concentration. Trader consensus on passage reflects the junta's control and the short window before the referendum, though outcomes could shift if legal challenges on timing or turnout irregularities emerge in the final days.

If the referendum occurs and results are known definitively by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, and the proposed constitution is approved, meeting any turnout quorum or other threshold legally required for the referendum to pass, this market will resolve to "Passes."
If the referendum occurs and results are known definitively by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, and the proposed constitution is rejected by voters, or the referendum fails to meet any turnout quorum or other threshold legally required for the referendum to pass, this market will resolve to "Fails."
If no constitutional referendum occurs in Guinea-Bissau by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No Referendum in 2026."
If the referendum occurs by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, but the results are not known definitively by that time, this market will resolve to "Other."
For the purposes of this market, "quorum" refers to whatever participation or approval threshold, if any, is required under Guinea-Bissau's applicable law or the transitional authorities' referendum framework for the new constitution to enter into force. If no quorum requirement applies, resolution will be based solely on whether the affirmative vote prevails.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. If there exists any ambiguity, this market will resolve solely according to official information from the entity responsible for conducting the referendum, including Guinea-Bissau's transitional authorities and electoral bodies (e.g., the National Electoral Commission or its successor under the military-led transitional government).
