Uzbekistan votes on referendum to extend president’s term limits

People in Uzbekistan are voting on a constitutional referendum that could allow President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to extend his rule by 14 years.
If Sunday’s referendum passes, presidential terms would be lengthened from five to seven years. The change would allow the 65-year-old Mirziyoyev to serve two more terms and extend his time in power until 2040.
