20 April 2026 — Fiji's National Referendum Bill: what it says, what it restricts, and why it matters: vote threshold clarified

An earlier version of this article stated that the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2025 required 42 votes to pass. The Hansard of 11 March 2025 records the bill receiving 40 votes in favour — short of the three-quarters parliamentary majority required under Section 160 of the 2013 Constitution. Parliamentarians in the debate variously described that threshold as requiring 41 or 42 votes from the 55-seat parliament. The article has been updated to remove the specific threshold number and state the vote count of 40 directly.

Correction noted: 21 April 2026.
