Colombia’s anti-corruption referendum has didn’t reach the minimal selection of votes required for it to be valid. <\/p>\n

Much Less that 12 million people went to the polls and the referendum wanted a little greater than 12 million to take part for it to be binding. <\/p>\n

Alternatively, an amazing majority of those who did vote approved the anti-corruption measures proposed.<\/p>\n

Each of the seven measures had more than 99% support.<\/p>\n
