A constitutional referendum was held in South Ossetia on 8 April 2001.[1] The constitutional amendments would impose stricter requirements for presidential candidates, make the Russian language an official language alongside Ossetian, and make the Georgian language an official language in areas with a Georgian majority.[1] The proposals were approved by 60% of voters.
