Central African constitutional referendum, 1986

A constitutional referendum was held in the Central African Republic on 21 November 1986, following a military coup in 1981. The new constitution would make the country a one-party state with the Central African Democratic Rally as the sole legal party, as well as allowing André Kolingba to assume the presidency for six years without an election, and abolishing term limits. It was approved by 92.22% of voters with an 87.6% turnout.

Following the referendum, parliamentary elections took place in July 1987.
