[NuclearID]

Qataris head to polls for referendum on draft constitutional changes:

Qataris are taking part in the second referendum in the country's history, where they will be able to vote "yes" or "no" to draft constitutional amendments unanimously approved by the country's Shura Council last month.

The draft amendments to Qatar's permanent constitution include returning to appointing Shura Council members instead of electing them, as well as some measures to promote wider political participation among Qatari citizens.

These amendments were referred for popular referendum by Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, who issued a decree on 29 October inviting all adult citizens to take part.

Citizens inside and outside the country over the age of 18 will be able to cast their vote between 7am and 7pm today by way of paper ballot at 10 designated polling boxes, or electronically by attending one of the announced polling locations in person and displaying their Qatari ID.

They will also be able to vote remotely using the Metrash2 application.
