The military-led transitional authorities in Guinea-Bissau, following the November 2025 coup, have scheduled the August 30, 2026 referendum on constitutional amendments drafted by the National Transitional Council that would shift to a presidential system and expand executive powers to appoint the prime minister, cabinet, and dissolve parliament. With the National Electoral Commission tasked with organization under the current regime and general elections set for December, the process has advanced on a fixed timeline despite opposition demands for postponement and boycott calls over inclusivity concerns. Trader consensus on passage reflects the junta's control of the single-question ballot and limited scope for effective opposition mobilization in the final days. Potential challenges include very low turnout or procedural disputes that could affect perceived legitimacy, though these appear unlikely to block formal approval under prevailing conditions.

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).
