He stated that, in compliance with the electoral schedule, on October 25, the request was formalized before the Constitutional Chamber of the Judiciary to study the questions and declare their constitutionality, a fact that was announced this November 1st by the Supreme Court of Justice, through ruling number 1,469, where the constitutional nature of the questions is ratified.
In this sense, the president of the Electoral Branch, Elvis Amoroso, reported that they have received the decision from the TSJ, and called on the people to go to vote on December 3. Likewise, he read the sentence and each of the questions that will be asked in the Consultative Referendum:

4) Do you agree to oppose, by all means, in accordance with the law, Guyana’s claim, unilaterally, illegally and in violation of International Law, to dispose of a sea, pending delimitation?
5) Do you agree with the creation of the Guayana Esequiba state and the development of an accelerated plan for the integral care of the current and future population of that territory, which includes, among others, the granting of citizenship and identity card?
