What are the 4 proposals to be placed in referendum for single 'Yes/No' vote?

Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus today (13 November) announced in an address to the nation that a referendum on the implementation of the July National Charter will be held on the same day as the upcoming national parliamentary election in February.

The referendum ballot will present a single, comprehensive question to voters, who must cast a "Yes" or "No" vote to express their opinion on four collective constitutional reform proposals derived from the charter.

He stated that the specific question to be presented on the referendum ballot has been formally finalised in the implementation order:

"Do you approve the implementation of the July National Charter [Constitutional Reform] Ordinance, 2025, and the following reform proposals recorded in the July National Charter?" (Yes/No)

The single "Yes/No" vote will simultaneously cover the following four key proposals:

• The caretaker government, the Election Commission, and other constitutional bodies shall be formed in accordance with the procedures outlined in the July Charter.
• The next National Parliament shall be bicameral (two chambers). A 100-member upper house will be formed in proportion to the votes obtained by the political parties in the national election, and any constitutional amendment shall require the approval of a majority of upper house members.
• The political parties have reached a consensus on 30 reform proposals included in the July Charter, covering areas such as increasing women's representation in parliament, electing the deputy speaker and parliamentary committee chairs from the opposition, limiting the prime minister's tenure, enhancing the president's powers, expanding fundamental rights, ensuring judicial independence, and strengthening local government. The victorious parties in the upcoming election will be obliged to implement these agreed reforms.
• Other reforms described in the July Charter will be implemented in line with the commitments made by political parties.

Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus explained that if the majority of votes in the referendum are "Yes", a Constitutional Reform Council will be formed, which will be composed of representatives elected in the upcoming parliamentary election. They will simultaneously serve as members of the National Parliament.
