A constitutional referendum was held in Nauru on 27 February 2010.

[1] Voters were asked to vote on amendments to the constitution, most notably a change to a directly elected president (instead of one chosen by parliament) and a strengthening of human rights legislation (but also a clarification of the distribution of powers and other, less notable amendments).

[3] The referendum was part of a large-scale constitutional renewal; the referendum had to be held to approve changes to some especially protected parts of the constitution, while other changes were made by simple parliamentary vote.

[5][6] It was considered immediately afterwards whether another referendum might be held at a later time.
