2016 Quota Referendum

The 2016 Quota Referendum in the Philippines was a vote to decide whether to change the country's existing electoral system, specifically regarding the use of a "party-list" system. The proposed change aimed to limit the number of seats allocated to marginalized groups represented in Congress. Supporters believed it would reduce misuse of the system and ensure true representation for those in need. Opponents argued it could restrict genuine minority voices and undermine the purpose of the party-list system. Ultimately, voters rejected the proposed constitutional amendments, keeping the current rules intact.
