Burundi held a referendum on 9 February 1991 in which voters were asked whether they were in favor or opposed to the draft 'Charter of National Unity'.
The 'Charter of National Unity' was intended to formally abolish ethnic discrimination and to permit the creation of a new constitution to further the country's democratization process.
