Luxembourg referendum on the European Constitution

The Luxembourg referendum on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe is a referendum to be held on 10 July 2005 to decide whether Luxembourg should ratify the proposed Constitution of the European Union.

The referendum will be Luxembourg's first since 1936, when a proposal to outlaw the Communist Party was rejected. Luxembourg is traditionally regarded as one of the EU's most enthusiastic member states, and most prominent political figures support the Constitution, with both the governing coalition and the main opposition parties campaigning for a 'yes' vote.

The poll will be consultative in nature.
