Guinea-Bissau – Constitution

In Guinea-Bissau parliamentary elections took place on Sunday. The voting seems to have been peaceful and the turnout quite high. I will post the results when they are in.

In the meantime, here is a link to the EU’s Guinea-Bissau electoral observance page. It is in Portuguese, but, even for those of us who aren’t entirely fluent(!), it is quite useful. Specifically, it has a full copy of the 1996 constitution, which is very difficult to get online. (Technically, it is the 1996 amended version of the 1984 constitution). Again, the text is in Portuguese, but it might be helpful to have it for reference. On Confinder the text in French is the original 1984 constitution, while the text in English is incomplete.
