Articles of Constitution of the Republic

Residents in San Antonio Cape, the westernmost tip of Cuba, are present Sunday at the polls to support the new Cuban Magna Carta.

Yesterday, February 24, 124 years since the country’s independence struggle was re-initiated, millions of Cubans participated in the successful referendum, conducted transparently, in accordance with the law, to support the construction of a brighter future and strengthen unity around the Revolution

By agreement of the National Assembly of People’s Power (ANPP), in an extraordinary session held on June 2, 2018, it was agreed to initiate the Constitutional Reform process and approve, as a first step, the creation of a Commission in charge of preparing the proposed Constitution.

What has been done in the field of human rights, whatever the context, always implies progress, because the achievements in this area are for everyone without distinction, and their recognition in the Constitution means protection on an equal footing

With their presence at the polls this coming February 24, the Cuban people will reaffirm their commitment to the continuity of the Revolution and the determination to defend its conquests, and as the best way to honor José Martí, Fidel Castro, and the homeland’s heroes, stated Esteban Lazo Hernández, president of the National Assembly of People’s Power, during a visit to the Special Municipality.

One of the most important steps leading to the February 24 referendum on Cuba’s new Constitution took place recently with the establishment of electoral commissions at the provincial, municipal, and constituency level, and for special voting sites.
