Results

An unofficial referendum on "peace, life and liberty" was held in Colombia on 26 October 1997, alongside regional and departmental elections.^[1] The referendum was organised as a private initiative, but the ballots were counted by the electoral authorities.^[1]

Whilst the referendum and elections were boycotted in rural areas due to pressure from guerrilla groups, urban voters voted heavily in favour,^[2] with over 90% of voters supporting the proposal.
