- Abkhazian constitutional referendum, 1999
In tandem with the presidential elections, on October the 3rd 1999 a constitutional referendum was organised in the internationally unrecognised Republic of Abkhazia, in which the population was asked to express its opinion over the newly readopted 1925 constitution. Ethnic Georgians who had been expelled from Abkhazia during the conflict of 1992-93 did not participate in the referendum.
