A recent survey conducted by Global InfoAnalytics reveals widespread public backing for several major proposals outlined in the Constitutional Review Commission’s report, released earlier this month. The findings show that most voters support extending the presidential term from four to five years. Published on Monday, December 29, the poll indicates that 57 percent of respondents favor the change, 36 percent are opposed, and 7 percent remain undecided.
The survey further highlights strong approval for the recommendation to bar members of parliament from simultaneously serving as ministers. On this proposal, 58 percent of voters expressed approval, compared with 32 percent who disapprove. Ten percent of respondents said they had no opinion.
Public opinion is similarly favourable toward lowering the minimum age required to run for president. The poll found that 55 percent of voters approve of reducing the age threshold, while 35 percent disapprove. Another 10 percent reported having no opinion.
Global Info Analytics conducted the poll between December 1 and December 21, 2025. The survey used a mixed-method approach, combining web-based questionnaires, telephone interviews, and face-to-face interviews. In total, 13,495 voters from across the country were sampled.
