Algeria Says Voters Backed Constitutional Changes in Referendum
.. However, two thirds of those who did vote supported the changes .. ALGIERS - A proposal to change Algeria's constitution won the most votes
in Sunday's referendum and will become law, but the very low turnout
undercut the government strategy of using the poll to turn a page on
last year's political unrest.
Fewer than one in four registered voters cast a ballot, Algeria's lowest ever turnout, with many in the opposition "Hirak" street protest movement opposing the referendum and the vote taking place amid a global pandemic.

electoral commission head Mohamed Charfi said at a news conference on
Monday, adding that the coronavirus had negatively affected turnout.
