1961 Constitutional referendum

The 1961 Constitutional Referendum in Argentina proposed significant changes to the country's political system, including transforming the presidential term from four to six years and allowing a president to serve consecutive terms. It aimed to modernize governance but faced mixed opinions; supporters believed it would strengthen stability, while opponents worried about increased executive power. Voters approved the reforms, leading to constitutional adjustments that influenced Argentine politics for years. This referendum reflected the ongoing debate over balancing presidential authority with democratic accountability during that period.
