1984 Pakistani Islamisation programme referendum
A referendum on the Islamisation policy of President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq was held in Pakistan on 19 December 1984. Voters were asked whether they supported Zia-ul-Haq's proposals for amending several laws in accordance with the Koran and Sunnah, whether they wanted this process to continue, and whether they supported the Islamic ideology of Pakistan.[1] The referendum also served as way of extending Zia-ul-Haq's presidential term by five years.[2] It was reportedly approved by 98.5% of voters, with a turnout of 62.2%.[1]
