A constitutional referendum was held in Niger on 26 December 1992. The new constitution would restore multi-party democracy for the first time since 1960, whilst also allowing unlimited number of five-year terms for the President. It was approved by 89.79% of voters, with a turnout of 56.6%. Upon its promulgation on 22 January 1993, the Third Republic came into being, which lasted until the 1996 coup.
