The 14th Khazar constituency is the most active one in the referendum on amending Azerbaijan’s Constitution as of 15:00 (UTC/GMT + 4 hours), said Farid Orujov, director of the Information Center of Azerbaijan’s Central Election Commission.
He pointed out that 33,198 of 49,374 voters have already cast ballot and this means that the voter turnout in this constituency is 67.2 percent.

The referendum to make amendments to Azerbaijan’s Constitution kicked off at 08:00 and will wrap up at 19:00 (UTC/GMT +4).

The number of voters in Azerbaijan stands at 5,267,111 people, according to the Central Election Commission (CEC).

As many as 117 international observers – MPs from over 30 countries as well as observers from various international organizations, including the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) – have been accredited by Azerbaijan’s CEC to observe the referendum.

The total number of the observers is around 53,000.
