55% of every 100 voters rejected changing the Constitution to allow presidential re-election, as per the findings from the Hamilton & Staff-Hoy newspaper survey of 13-19 March. The rejection is three points less than when the survey carried out in November of last year showed. In 1994 the Dominican Constitution was modified and a clause prohibiting consecutive presidential re-election was incorporated. At the time, the object was to impede the re-election of then President Joaqu?n Balaguer.
