A constitutional referendum was held in Armenia on 25 May 2003. The constitutional changes would remove some powers from the president, and were narrowly approved by 50.33% of voters, with a 51.72% turnout. However, the results were invalidated, as the number of votes in favour of the changes was lower than one-third of the number of registered voters (779,901).
