A constitutional referendum, officially referred to as the referendum to lower the age of criminal responsibility (Spanish: plebiscito para bajar la edad de imputabilidad), was held in Uruguay on 26 October 2014, alongside general elections. Voters were asked whether Article 43 of the Constitution should be amended to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 18 to 16.[1] The proposal was rejected by 53% of voters.
