This referendum proposal is currently under review by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE).

Does the ruling apply only to the presidency, or does it extend to other positions?: The ruling extends the ban to the vice-presidency and leadership positions in the legislature, preventing officials who have served two terms from holding these offices.
